Tune 2012 Automatic

I want to ask this without starting a war , if possible. I'm looking for recomendations for who to use to tune 2012 5.0 automatic. I'm asking because I'm concerned with shift quality as much as power. I love the auto but its slow to downshift ans shifts too softly. Car will have typical air intake and exhaust mods. PM experiences if necessary.
Thanks, Mike

I used a local tuner that is a Mustang specialist. He used my SCT tuner along with his Dynojet dyno to custom tune my car. I was very pleased with the results. Not knocking the Bama tunes as they have many happy customers as well.

I use a SCT tuner also it makes a big difference. I am sure some of the other well known brands will give you good results also.

I would like mine to shift faster and more firm. It feels like it just slips into gear and I can really only feel it shift about 2 times if I'm not paying really close attention. It'll bark 2nd but is lazy during the shifts.
