Transmission performance tune

I am wondering if a ZFG transmission tune or any other tune will improve the "manual" shifting??? I knows it's not a dual clutch system, but I would like to remove some of that "lag, hesitation, ect" out of the shifting when up and downshifting on spirited curvy road driving. I miss driving some of my favorite curvy road driving with my manual transmission shifting. I would like better connection with my transmission when in manual shift mode. Also, are there actual transmission mods internally such as valve body upgrade, solenoid upgrade, ect??

Yes, suncoast makes 0-3 stages of rebuilds - RSA does as well. I’m going with the RSA in 2 weeks - GPZ clutches - steels - fibers - seals - hardware - pro loc valve body. 3700$ you got ship it them complete tear down and rebuild - they run it in the 10.59 1/4 mile ST - which is still the record to date

Stage 2 and 3 and rsa come with explained clutch counts - raybestos over borg Warner seems to be the popular choice
