FLAT FOOT SHIFTS

FLAT FOOT SHIFTS
For some time I've wanted to give the NO LIFT shift ability a try. It may sound whimpy but I'm a bit timid to just plug in some "guesses" for fuel/ignition cut cycles and go out and let it rip. If it weren't for turbo lag or burp that the car gets from flipping the throttle plate open-shut-open I wouldn't even care, but there are times when that burp costs car lengths.
So to get to it, can anyone share a map with me that has similar engine setup that they use (repeatedly and the car didn't grenade) ?
My car is a VVT car with a 2860 turbo with internal wastegate and cast T25 manifold. It produces about 15-16 PSI currently on 93 octane.
my email is anice40@yahoo.com and I appreciate any help on the matter.
Thanks everyone,
Ken

You don't need to change your map, rather just enable it through the 2-Step/NLS menu in tunerstudio. As for the transmissions, using NLS on a 250 whp Rotrex car, we went through about one transmission every two years. They wouldn't break or anything, but the synchros would wear and they'd start to feel crappy. Personally a $300 trans every two years is more than worth the benefit, but to each their own.

2) This makes a lot more torque than your Rotrex car. If a 5spd, it will shatter the first time. If a 6 speed, it'll be a consumable, and they cost many more dollars than a 5spd.
3) NLS is stupid unless a drag car, at which point, there's a whole other host of things that will pay off a lot more and tear up your car less.
If you're doing it on a car that isn't a drag car, you're a ricer.

Wow, who knew....
So if I'm hearing you right, even a proper NLS in my car is probably going to cause the transmission to expire and maybe even the next transmission. I was hoping the cut cycles would limit the shock the next gear change gave to the transmission.
Just for reference, I'm not a ricer... I'm an old guy that doesn't like losing a half second every time I up-shift when every tenth counts.
Thanks,
Ken
