my slower shifts, if you watch the vids, you can tell what happened was that I accidentally hit the limiter before initiating the shift, screwing up my whole timing.

I would suspect, tell me if I am wrong, that the reason you felt the difference with your no-lift shift module is possibly because you were not no-lift shifting until you had the module. Am I right? Because trying to shift at that engine speed without being on the down-slope of a cut, it doesnt really want to shift fast and it will grind if i release the clutch too soon in the process. What I am basically saying is, I feel like my transmission lets me shift it faster if i bang the rev limiter, than it will if I try and slam a gear hard without hitting the limiter... and I dont think it would let me into the next gear as quickly if I didnt keep the throttle down so that I tap the limiter.

Perhaps its time for me to study my transmission a little bit more.
I did it a few times in my wrx before actually having the ecu tuned for no-lift (on the wrx they call it flat foot shifting)...basically I could feel the transmission jerk quite hard, and twice the driveshaft actually slipped! It scared the piss out of me the first time it happened...

with the flat-foot programmed in the engine would quite rapidly drop back down to the appropriate rpm as fast as i was on and off the clutch so that the next gear lunged me forward rather than feeling like i ripped something apart.

Then again with AWD there are a lot more moving pieces and there's less room for error/slop between shifts. Get it wrong and you'll feel the clunk and chunk of all four wheels, get it right and you'll feel all the wheels grip
