That's pretty cool. I was hoping you found some secret menu in our Procal software.
For me, the gentle lift is just not normal when driving a high horsepower car. If need to drop a gear or two to make a quick pass it's not natural to slow shift in that moment. I want to clutch, select my gear and get back on the gas asap without it clunking and jerking the car.Having watched the video I do wonder if a āgentle liftā v a āfull lift / full throttle closureā would help you guys ? Iām not talking a massive change to the throttle, but maybe a small change could make a big difference.
Iām struggling to see to see how the euro tune and the USDM tune could be so different in this respect - both tunes are chasing emissions (we even get GPF i.e. NOX filters over here that sit with the cats), rev hang doesnāt seem intrusive on my car and itās not something I hear commonly moaned about ?
There are exceptions to that last bit of the above statement, but I had no idea rev hang even existed until joining this forum and I actually had to forcefully slow down my shifting procedure in the mustang to find it.

The "slow shift" only applies to upshifting (when downshifting, you want the revs to be high anyway). I also have an Europe-spec mustang, and have what I assume is the same annoying rev-hang. Could be more or less pronounced than on the USA cars, but never tried a manual US car, so no idea if there's any difference at all.
The slow shift applies to downshifting as well because it has more to do with the quick off/on of clutching and hitting the gas during the shift. But you are correct in that it is definitely more annoying having to shift going uphill.
You are probably right, but I don't see how it would have any practical effect during a downshift, except possibly having to blip the throttle a little less than one would have to blip it without the revhang. I for one do not feel any revhang, to be annoyed at or otherwise, when downshifting. Neither during daily driving nor on track.
I don't think the rev hang is bad, with two notable exceptions. Up to a few minutes after a cold start it's pretty bad, I have to wait a long time to upshift to not jerk the car. And if you're doing a WOT pull, shift gears, go WOT again, then let off. If you go to upshift again to start cruising, it will hang really bad to try and burn off all that fuel it thought you were going to blow through going WOT.Having watched the video I do wonder if a āgentle liftā v a āfull lift / full throttle closureā would help you guys ?

Agree.
