Default faster shifting-gs350

Is there a way to make the car shift faster when in auto-manual mode? I shift, and about a second later it shifts. Is all automanuals this way? Like is the IS like that too?

I would bet there is something "after market" that would somehow reprogram the ECU and let you shift instantly and harder..... just don't know of anything of hand, but there has to be something.

This auto stick is weird to get used to. I mean, if I put it in second, it'll stay in second till redline. But if I have it in fourth gear, I could be at a stop, and it'll shift like in auto mode all the way to 4th gear which it will hold. So it doesnt feel like a real shifter.

it works more like a limiter shift.. so u dont overshift when taking corners, etc...
