I have tried WOT in S mode several times up to about 100 mph and have had no problems. APR offers a 30 day money back guarantee so there is nothing to lose unless your dealer charges to flash. Mine doesn’t.
I may consider that in the New Year. Again, for me, I always drive in manual mode so shift points are a moot point for me - I just want the violent shifts to go away in the lower gears - right now I don't even like getting on it until I'm in 3rd heading into 4th gear and even then, 3rd to 4th is a little rough. 1st to second and second to third feels TERRIBLE.
