This is something that is being worked on as we speak. Unfortunately I'm playing pin the tail on the *** with my differential so until I get the car back up and running, my test bench is parked next to my work bench.

James, while this is your forte and you would have to be very knowledgeable in this arena to do your particular line of work, I have to respectfully disagree. The LX platform shares many components with their Mercedes counterpart. As far as engine tuning, you may be correct but only because their ability is directly correlated to number of units they expect to sell as a result of their research and development. When it comes to being able to change the characteristics of the transmission, it's the same hardware with ever so slightly modified software. Heck, you can take the EGS2 out of them and swap between the two and get it to run, albeit with a few issues but like anything, you have to work out the bugs.
