They offer "tunes" (read as performance upgrades) for the ECU (engine control module) which also includes some changes to the transmission performance (shift points for example). Further they offer a separate upgrade "tunes" for the TCU (transmission control).

Shift kits are old school and pretty much not applicable to modern vehicles with electronic computer controls. In the old days, a shift kit would basically make the transmission shift "harder" (banging into the gear change) and effectively served primarily to shorten the life of the transmission. Stay away! Just sayin' . . . .
There is always Late Models paddle shift if he is still making it.
