Yes! I noticed that you're from VA. I had mine tuned by Ed at Virginia Speed. They're located in Virginia Beach. I've been very happy with the results.

Sounds great im excited to hear more about this, will it make my car shift as quickly as an F1 car? HAHAHAHA LOL, j/k but seriously just something a bit more responsive than factory would make me happy! The paddle shifts are a blast but they feel slightly sluggish and delayed response

My tune has been in 1,000's of A6 cars over the years and it COMPLETELY changes the car.
Driveability goes up BIG TIME and the car becomes way more RESPONSIVE.
Call me and I'll tell you more about it.

is there any way to measure the shift time before and after the Tune to see what kind of difference is made? obviously its not going to be as quick as even a dual cluctch transmission used in GTRs M3's or ferrari's but it would be cool to know just how far off a properly tuned 6speed paddle shift automatic is from a fancy dual clutch paddle shift transmission

BTW, for best paddle-shift response with the stock tune, put the gear lever in "S" and select Competitive (COMP) Driving Mode.
COMP mode is selected by pressing the ACTIVE HANDLING button on the console quickly two times. Be aware that this defeats the Traction Control system.
I do not have a tune. But by all accounts I've read, you'll get a definite improvement with a tune.
You could measure the shift delay like this guy (see the videos): http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...post1570891086
But IMO it's the seat-of-the-pants improvement that counts.
