GEN 1 Something like Pedal Commander, but for the transmission?

Just wondering if anybody knows of something similar to Pedal Commander, but for the trans. I have Pedal Commander, and it does work great, and drastically improves throttle response (City -1 is perfect for a daily driver; Sport +2 is perfect for off-road).

But one thing I still notice:
I can be cruising along at whatever speed - say anywhere from 45 to 60 or above. I'll be in 6th gear, and I mash the pedal. The trans will downshift one gear at a time until it finds one it likes and finally scoots me forward. From 6 down to 5, from 5 down to 4, then it goes into 3 and actually moves. That translates to anywhere from 1 to 4 seconds from the time I floor it until the truck actually responds. Having this happen when merging on the expressway has nearly gotten me killed a couple times now.

I'm sure some of you Gen1 (possibly Gen2? I have no experience with those yet) owners have noticed this, and maybe attributed it to something else. But the way this thing shifts when you floor it is definitely out of whack. Or maybe it's just me and my truck? Anyone else have this problem? Can anyone offer some pointers or a fix?

I'm running the svc tune. I found the trans shifting much improved after uploading it. May be a placebo effect. But I think it's much better then stock.

2014 with 30K miles. Stock tune. I haven't had that happen. Mash the throttle and it goes down several gears right off and accelerates as it should.

my 2013 seems to drop to a low enough gear first try too. Sometimes it seems like maybe a gear to low,lol.
IMO, A manual trans would be awesome in a Raptor!
