I have a shiftplus on my 2.2 auto. It boosts line pressure on the tranny, giving you a firmer shift. There are 2 stages. 1 for daily driving and 1 for fun. I don't really know if it changes the shift points,but maybe someone else can chime in. I got mine for $20 used and I love it. It helps save on the tranny when I pull my ATV or jetski. There is a how to to install it, and I think it has some info as well.

i have it on my 07 2.2 and i havent had turned it off since i installed it lol. if you drive in I gear the tires will chirp from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd but at WOT of course and stage 2 is a little overkill i think ive only used it a couple times for racing but i would definitely recommend it to other autos

im still not clear on what it does. does it make the shift from each gear happen quicker as if your driving a stick? i have an aftermarket muffler on my car and it annoys me since my automatic causes the sound to be long and constant. with this will it make it sound like a standard? does it make your car any faster?

The shift plus makes the tranny shift firmer and it reduces heat and slippage. And it does it by electronically recalibrating the hydraulic system.
And as olivecj said a tune would be much better but if your on a budget it isn't a bad choice.
