Actually, for those of you that are not within driving distance of our shop to have your A6's tuned..... Tuning the engine through the mail can actually change the trans pressures and shift points somewhat.....
The trans actually monitors a "Torque Signal" handed down from the PCM or engine computer..Based on this torque signal, transmission pressures are adjusted.....We have found that this trans takes some time to learn or adjust to the new engine settings....
We have found that after only tuning the engine, in a short while, the trans responds with firmer shift and better maners.....
So, ONLY tuning the engine can have an effect on the trans parameters ....it's not huge, but you will feel it....
Hope this helps,

I already got a Westers tune for Vette, and though Lyndon's other tunes have been great for my Yukons , I can't say I am really impressed with the one for my Vette. Actually, it was rather disapointing. He couldn't adjust the TM yet. ( I have an 07 with the a6)
But I solved the problem by restoring the Factory Tune. (I also have an 06 with a6)

If you're interested....You'll only be without the car for 3 days....If you're in a big rush, I can flash it and return ship it the day I recieve it....Most of the time it works that way......
Trust me....A custom tune that's rpefected LIVE here for the exact same car is way better than a canned tune.....
There's just so much more we can (and are willing...) to do.....

Has anyone done any tweeking with the Diablo Tune using a dyno or at the drags? If so, what were the changes and results? Thanks.
You get like +3hp +Torque from the Diablo Tune (You can find it ready to use in the device menu) But I recommend that someone expert in the Diablo to tune your car for you.

Dashti your posts confuse me. On one hand you state the Diablo tune is "awesome". But in later posts you've already put back the factory tune and are looking for another tuner. What changed?

Says who
? I said that I need someone to tune the car for me, Cause the diablo tune is not enough for me.
I am telling you.. The diablo is a very good tool, just give it a try. You'll like it.
Certainly, every car is different and has different mods....
I think it's safe to say 25+hp up top.....but, bear in mind.... Every person who asks that "how much" question is hoping for some "PEAK" numbers at high RPM's so they can brag to their friends.....
The fact of the matter is that there's alot more than that available down low or "below the curve" but most guys get big eyes for the "peak" numbers....but, That's a mistake....
FOR INSTANCE.....A customer came to me last week with an 06 Z51 C6 with a supercharger @ 7psi. The dude spent about $8,500. for the S/C installed. AND the car made some impressive "up top" or "peak" dyno numbers..... The fact of the matter is that the car was a DOG.... Especially down low....round town....even on the highway.... Once the S/C spooled up...sure it felt peppy....but....his complaint was that he's not in the high rpm's all the time (which most people aren't)....
He had big numbers....but again, the car wasn't fun..... He needed low end TORQUE and HP....
The fix was the HOLY COW HD 4.10 rear end....Now it jamms!
The morale of the story is this....Don't worry about the top end results or "peak" HP numbers.....They do very little for you.....
Obviously, my tunes make more peak power....but, where they'll shine is the bottom end.....Trust me, you'll love it....
I really can't nail it down to a guaranteed number, but....read my feedback on the forum....Search for "mail order tuning" on this forum.... My existing customers are my best advertising!
STAY TUNED!

I restored the factory tune not because I didn't loved the Diablo, it's just my cars service time =) If they knew that I messed with my car computer.. My car warranty will be cancelled. That's why I changed to the stock tune.

Thanks Chuck, nice reply.
Chuck, I traded my 2002 Z06 for the 07 Z51 Manual. Needless to say I was disappointed in the power of the new car. Can you please comment and compare the two? Will just a stock tune to the C6 get to the level of performance I felt in the Z06 or do I need to add a few more mods to the car, first? If so, which mods? The C6 does not pull to redline as strong as the Z06. Is this a cam problem? I'm sure all of us at the forum would appreciate your posted response. I enjoy the drags. By the way, the stock Z06 with stock tires, easily ran 12.5 @ 115mph. in 80* at Orlando. Thank You.
