    I remember John and Brian from Intense telling me that they programed some torque management into my tune to protect the less than beefy stock trans. I do remember John telling me that power is lessened at the shift point to protect the trans. I thought it was reduced timing right before the shift point but I cant remember for sure... I can't wait until I get a Triple Edge trans and can tune again with a N* throttle body and ported blower... I wouldn't worry about a 2* or less blip of KR here and there

    Why? A ported gen 3 is just as good as gen 5 from what I hear

    Well ya heard wrong! Haha. A stock gen 5 will still outflow and be more efficient than any fully ported gen 3.
