I've been told Dinan developed their S/W on a std 6 speed. When installed on an SMG II car the S/W thought it had reached redline @ about 4K RPM. Apparently there is a sensor somewhere in the SMG II set up that doesn't exist in the std 6 speed. In any event they theoretically have it figured out and are shipping diffs with an additional S/W mod.
This is the story I've been told by the dealer as to why it's taking so long to get my diff. If true, it reinforces my belief that when buying a set of mods as I am, it's a good idea to get it all from the same source so there will be a better chance it will all play together.
The main benefit (?),I'm told, of the S/W package is to remove the top speed limiter, raise the redline to 8150 (this allows you to reach 60 mph in 2nd gear - not sure this applies to the 3.91 diff mod) and provide a more linear throttle mapping.
