beware...b&m shiftplus is addicting! it helps shifts like no other...although watch out for the #2 setting, it will shift super hard but fast. It shifts faster than any manual can 
also...only $30. super cheap!

Extends the life? Everything I have read on it so far said it dramatically shortens the life of the tranny because it doesn't shorten the shift points, it makes them shift at higher RPM's; basically giving it more gas into and out of the shift. It doesn't speed up the car at all on a factory car, only really makes a difference once it is pushing out more power, and because of the way it holds the RPM's high before the shift and powers into the next gear, it is really bad for the tranny.
Again, this is what I have read on it so far because I was considering getting it myself so I did my research. If anybody would like to chime in otherwise, please do.

There have been guys in older Cavilers running the ShiftPlus+ on stage 2 for 50k miles or more without any problems. I believe HackAbuse has been running on stage 2 for 20k miles. I have been on stage 2 95% of the time for almost 8k miles, without any problems.
