Honda automatic trannies automatically adjust the point at which they shift dependant upon how far the throttle is depressed. It's designed to interpret the desired effect by how hard you want the car to be driven. At WOT, they automatically shift at redline. With the throttle barely depressed, it's around 3K rpm. Some other companies do it differently- a cruising/sport button, or the new M3's "driving strategy" selector. The Honda system actually works very well, and I believe having it chipped would be a waste of money.
