Well the only thing i havent had time to do yet is all out full throttle, I have done about %50 throttle so far, and i'm pretty sure it can chirp some tires.

The 1-2 upshift is good.
The 2-3 is amazing!
The 3-4 doesnt feel much different, but it really doesnt matter since at WOT you'll be doing well over 100mph at that point!

You just locate the wires, and use wire taps. Wire taps squeeze onto the wires, and then you're done!

The ride isnt any smoother, the tranny is just 5x more responsive

Hmmm...tapping into hard wires on a tranny sounds like bad news if you mess up, don't know what your doing, or decide to get rid of it...

Any knowticable speed increase between shifts? Do you think it's improved response time and therefore 1/4 mile time any?

Wicked. From the sounds of it a very effective and CHEAP mod for some speed. I'll be ordering mine when I get paid next week!

I want to reverse engineer mine to probe the idea of adding a second B&M in series to effectively have Four Stages

Well, if the B&M is based on resistance, it's certainly plausible
