Best tuner for an LS3 A6
I'm returning to the forum after being gone for a couple of years.
When I was here before I had an '05 Z51 M6 and I put an intake, Pipe, and axle back exhaust on it with a Diablo Sport tune by Lew about 5 years ago.
I was pretty happy with the results and I now have a '10 base A6, 4LT. I'm going to do a similar setup on this one, possibly with long tube headers.
I'm wondering how much has changed in the tuner world at this time.
Does anyone have a similar setup with the A6 that they are happy with and could recommend some direction for a tuner to help firm up the shifts and have the A/F ratio adjustments available when I swap out parts in the next few months?
Thanks in advance

I had Diablo Lew do the tune on my "bolt on" 2011 C6 along with his transmission tune . I was very happy with the results ....

then did the CAI , headers , and fast 102 ... logged the car and then enlisted Lew . Loaded the new custome tune , log ....a wide open run , sent to Lew again ... you can rinse and repeat as many times as u need to . Just as good as a street tune but done remotely

For a header tune a Diablo is fine , I started with the 93 tune and firm shift tune , turn off Torque Managemnt as it limits your power to 380 HP in 1st and 2nd gear ..

I did the data logging tune with Lew on my last one but it was an M6.
I think I'll wait until I do the header addition before I bring him in on this one as well.

That's the info I was looking for. This one feels like it has a little vibration from about 2500-4500 rpms and I was wondering if it had something to do with the traction control / torque management.
Thanks Dave

How Im Different and make the money is I make changes to the torque management system. I found this way the best. The more throttle you apply, the firmer the shift will because. In normal traffic, the transmission shifts a little shorter than stock. Go spirited driving and get ready to chirp a gear. I have 90% automatic clients because thats who I Taylor the transmission settings for. You can make it custom for each owner using the D mode and M mode Lots of tables to change, but that what your paying me to do and I do it right
