Default Purchasing Minotaur just to fine tune shift parameters

Do you think it is worth it? I do not like taking my foot of the throttle everytime I want my van to shift just to keep the engine running at nice low rpm.
I have a good idea about where I want the shift points but I am sure I will want to adjust them afterwords.
I also have no interest in modding Bills engine parameters. I want to purchase one of Bills chips. So basically I would be spending the difference between an FU or Phoenix chip to a Minotaur just to make the shifting perfect for me. Is it worth it?





(Mods: BTS transmission, BTS tunes, 4" exhaust, FRX fuel crossover, other small support mods)

Being the naturally inquisitive person that I am, I would opt for the ability to tune for myself. The Minotaur kit is actually less than the FU2 kit and only $200 more than the standard FU kit, so it's really not a bad deal for what you're getting. Whether or not that is worth it to you is entirely up to you and how much you like to play. If you've ever had a desire to see what's going on inside that little magic box under the dash, then this would be a good way to get started.

I hope this helps.

you will be able to adjust shift points and TCC delay, duty cycle etc as well. Be careful, it gets addicting..
