These cars don't really shift all that fast, I was a bit surprised to find that out. New shift points.......when I floor it in auto mode, the needle goes to 6000 rpm(redline), but if i shift with moderate footwork, it will shift more around the area of 3-5 grand. Since I can shift when I want with the autostick, is it really necessary for the new shift points? Is boost increased with this S1? Which makes me wonder what the factory boost setting is....I think the SRT4 boosts at about 12-14 psi from the factory(I may be wrong).

Yes you have to change the trans programming when you do the S1, since the entire power curve has been altered, the trans has to change right along with it. Package deal.
No they don't shift all that fast as an auto stick, just the way they are, you get sorta the fun of a manual but you pay the price of having to wait for it to do the swapping of the cogs.
How do you know you are in O/D or 4th - EASY
When you slap the stick back to drop it into stick mode look down at your dash.. Big green numbers by the Odometer 1 2 3 4 which one has the box around it you are in that gear..
