so if the sport PASM isn't activated by the sport button, where is it activated? On the TPC DSC module?

The Sport button no longer turns the Sport Pasm on/off automatically , you need to use the PASM switch right beside it to manually control PASM between NORMAL and SPORT modes.

I picked one of these up last fall and haven’t had a chance to install and test it out. Need to get it done and do some track sessions.

There's a newer firmware dated 11.17.17, the notes says "huge improvement in Velocity". I just installed it but haven't driven enough to comment on the difference. Anyone upgraded to this firmware and noticed a difference? Any ideas what is meant by the improvement in Velocity?

I just checked the site again (www.dscsport.com/firmware/) and the notes has been revised and says "For use with DSC 3-axis accelerometer". Wonder why it was changed.

I took mine out on Sunday and drove around a couple of days on the stock module. Put the TPC back in yesterday and it is awesome. It does not take away from the sports car feel which I thought it was.

I got mine installed (literally less than 5 minutes), but have only driven around the block so my initial impressions are very limited. We have a wicked set of railroad tracks by my work. I drive over them all the time. First thing I did when I installed the DSC-Sport was head to these tracks. MUCH smoother with the DSC-Sport than the stock PASM unit. You still very much feel the bumps, but they aren't nearly as jarring or bouncy. Not as smooth as my air ride land rover, but very smooth nonetheless... and this is WITH the Damptronic Bilsteins

Please post back when you get some aggressive driving seat time with it. Curvy roads and such.

Thank you.

Got out for a spirited drive on some twisty roads. I ran the same section of road in both "normal" and "sport" I was nowhere near the limits so it was hard for me to discern the difference between the 2 modes. Overall, compared to the stock PASM, it is just smoother. It absorbs bumps and road irregularities better (ie more comfort) but knows when to stiffen up (ie cornering and braking). One thing I could definitely test was braking. Not nearly the nose dive as with the stock PASM. Not that it was bad before, but i can tell a difference.

if there is anything you guys want me to specifically test, let me know. But my overall impression is favorable.

I'd like to know this also. I replied to the email about the update asking and no response. Emailed Jordan there also have not heard back.
