Slow Upshifts with Paddles!!

Slow Upshifts with Paddles!!
Has anyone else experienced somewhat slow upshifts while using the paddles?? There are a few roads on my way home from work that have some tight turns with straightaways connecting where I can wring the engine out right to the redline, I typically click the upshift paddle at 7K rpm, with foot to the floor with a very slow sluggish delay in gear change! I tried it in both D and DS and found that near redline upshifts felt much more crisp and timely. I've had paddle shifters on other vehicles and they never seemed so slow. I am very impressed with the DS mode but wished the transmission was as responsive in paddle shift mode. Anyone have any thoughts on this??

Yea I've heard of a lot of paddle-shifting automatic owners complaining about this... get a Grounding Kit... From Black Bettys Garage... I've heard these have helped this issue well...

Thanks for the info, after reading the Black Betty thread I think I will invest in the Grounding Kit, very inexpensive mod. I'll post a follow up when I get them installed.

I think I kinda stirred up the hoopla about the grounding kit with this thread when I installed the Stillen kit.

It generated so much interest, Stillen followed it up with a Group Buy which resulted in 30 orders.

I didn't know if it was going to work and I didn't want to send the money for something that might not work. So I made my own from scrape pieces I bought from a car stereo shop. The longest piece was 3 feet and the shortest was 6 inches so I just bought all there left over pieces. The install went very well and worked a lot better than I could have imagined. Also I made it with 12 wires instead of the 6-9 wires the other kits offer. It is probably overkill but it is still cheaper than the cheapest kit out there.
