Default Tuning help for 6L80

Hi. I did swap 6 speed to 6l80. I need recommendation on some one capable to tune the transmission. Car have fully build 429 ls7 ( RHS block) and APS /DKT 62/66 turbo so it make lot of power.

Thanks

Would help to know a location. Engine & transmission tune are linked together so you will probably not find someone to just tune the transmission alone

If your ECU does not output a reasonably accurate engine torque number to the TCM, you are going to have a VERY difficult time getting it to control the transmission properly. 6l80 is a torque-based clutch to clutch transmission.

I always instruct clients that the first step in proper modern transmission tuning is to get the engine calibration correct. This includes air per cylinder, which feeds the torque model that is relayed to the TCM.

Check with Asylum Motorsports in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Justin is very knowledgeable with ProEfi (does a lot of them) and he also builds and tunes 6L80s. He tuned my car, which is also TT/6L80 build with ProEfi. Before I went TT/ProEfi, I ran the stock ecm with Procharger and made 800+rwhp for years and I'm still on the stock trans.
