i have a standard but im assuming the auto tranny has a setting for performance gain? if thats what you are talking about.

Ya the auto has a perf/norm switch. All it does is change the shift point.

LOL i see kinda like a shift kit. i wonder if u could even get a shift kit for it cuz of that!

Actually I almost mentioned that lol.
Mine also shifts harder, ie, throws u back in your seat more, in power mode. Not sure if its designed to shift gears "quicker" or if its just because of higher rpms....

toyota ECT "power Mode" increases the rpms at which you shift.

ill shift. right around 4.9k usually while in "power." depending on the position of the throttle plate.
