Just loaded the first Rom from XRT. It already shifts much smoother in auto, and much better torque in manual, auto feels prefect for a nice ride around town and manual feels great for the track. I was scared at first but wow, it was totally worth it. This was just the initial Rom I can't wait till the next update.
Edward is great, he logged into my computer and pretty much did everything, I just sat and watched.

I am having my 3.6r legacy tuned by west_minist and I can tell you that's it's nothing like a rocket chip or eBay chip or anything like that. This is a tune and other than having your car on a dyno it's no different than any other local tuner will do for your car. In fact most tuners offer etuning for people that don't live close to a capable tuner. The first thing I did when I heard about xtremeracingtuning was to try to find a negative review but I couldn't find one, all I found was more and more positive reviews. I'm not gonna say he's the best cause I haven't tried everybody but he is a great option if you want better performance out of your vehicle. I will try to post more as we get closer to a final tune.

If you live close to a good tuner then yea go there, but if you live hours from a capable tune then etuning is the only option. There are a lot of options for etune but I like the guy that's trusted world-wide (west_minist)

xrt controls the shift points indirectly. This car shifts completely differently, it's way smoother, you can hardly tell it shifts in auto and about as fast as a manual in paddle mode

Pretty much done tuning maybe a couple of little tweaks to get everything running prefect. I ran a couple dyno comparisons and it looks like we gained about 20hp on the high end with the tune but the feel is what sets it apart, it's a totally different car, very smooth and powerful at any speed. The car runs better than it did the day I bought it. I have cat back exhaust and a cold air intake and after those upgrades it felt sluggish on takeoff and it was shifting harder than stock, after the tune it runs amazing. Stock this car gets around 200 hp after the intake and exhaust I was getting 220 and after the tune I'm at 240, but those numbers are at peak. XTREMERACINGTUNING is working on getting me a dyno graph comparison for a better idea of the change across the whole rpm range. We also did a race tune on Sunoco 260 gt 100 octane race fuel, I'm still waiting on numbers but it was a beast after we adjusted for the new gas.
