C6 A6 Transmission Tuning...

Nothing wrong with the 2.56, but I drag race a lot and I just want a little more grrrr out of the hole.

We'll keep you posted on the progress....
Additionally, If you need more grunt out of your A6, and you aren't too far from New York..We can finally tune the A6 trans....
If you're not too close, you can always send us the PCM for a bench tune....I've got tons of C6 A6 engine tunes on file and can whip you up something to give that car the GRUNT you've been looking for.
Stay Tuned,

The transmission parameters were altered as well? Torque management, shift points, firmness etc?

My A6 ran 12.85 at 110 1.99 60' DA 3,000 feet stock.
IMO the A6 has:
a deep 1st (a little too deep if you are making any more pwr)
a good 2nd
an ok 3d
and 4th keeps pulling hard (with the Vararam)
I have raced a lot of cars that say the kill C6's and mine really surprises them they all swear I am spraying, its funny to watch them look the car over.
IMO the A4 w 273's is so slow it is not worth the gas it feels like it drops out of the pwr band on each shift, but it will hit 190 in 3rd
I have not run a stock A4 315 or M6Z51 yet but pull on 02-04 Z06's.

Stock I'm 1.8.
As for the 02-04 Z06, I've only run one, I put one car on him from the jump and pulled another 1 or so by 150. Not sure of his mods. I have headers, ORX, Stingers and an intake, no tune.
My car is trapping about 116.
I also beat a C5Z at the track, but it was close. From a roll the A6 is very strong. I'll give it that. I've seen C5Z's go 11.8 with nothing but drag radials, I think you'd be hard pressed to do that in an A6 especially with TM. But from a roll I think it will surprise alot of people, but with a good driver I don't see the Z getting beat by a stock car.
Just my experiences, take them for what they are worth.
