    Not in Chadstone area, but not that far away, Ringwood Speedos 98742260, or Howard Instruments, 94574755, are the two that come to mind.

    You need to get a tuner to do it, shift points need to be changed on an automatic not just ppk values
    otherwise it will not get to the speeds it did with the stock diff gears in each gear change.

    Car will instead hold gears because it will never be able to get to the set shift point & hit the rev limiter.

    Holden dealer cannot do it even with Tech2.

    Your tuner should not charge much to sort it out for you because he will already have paid the software license fee to tune your car.

    Pick your tuner with care, they are not all equal.
    Just because they have a fancy corporate looking uniform and sign writing at the shop & their family, friends etc write nice fake reviews on faeces book
    doesn't make them any good.
    Have seen some really bad, unsafe work done plenty of times.
