I should have the car back in time before Vette Magic on Sunday (all Corvette drag race in Sacramento) and will post up my times if they're any different after the transmission's been fixed.

I've had the 2-3 shift flare-up problem for several months now so I'm thinking that I might have been getting too much slippage both between gears as well as while I'm in a certain gear.

There's a pretty common problem with the A6 transmission where the tach will jump anywhere from 100 to 1000 rpm during the 2-3 shift. The fix is to replace the valve body which is what I'm having done to mine as we speak.

Was your best 60ft on drag radials or run flats?
According to what I've seen in my tune the TM is turned off but I'll shoot my tuner an e-mail to see if either something was missed or if there really is no way to turn it off on a launch. I do know that without a decent burnout I don't notice any hesitation and can spin the tires halfway down the track.

I have to drive around it like Dennis does and i haven`t got that skill yet. Thats why i say there is TM in your launch.

i hope you dont either it was a nightmare after the new trans 250 trans temps they said gm says acceptable it wouldnt shift right at those temps then they blamed the tune , when they did the trans they wouldnt put the converter back in they put a new stock one i alreadey had the converter opened and checked fo metal parts from the damage the tech did, so i had to pay for another converter install but before that the took my ecm out and tcm and replaced with stock tune and it still hit 250 in 5 miles after a month of complaing they found out the lines were cloged and there was no flow rhats why it was so hot. so i had cartek put the converter back in and the retuned tcm and pcm for free i paid for the converter install but they retuned trans and tune for free

I still have the stock 2.56 gears.

does torque management ONLY intervene when there is tire spin? I notice my power delivery in my 08 MN6 is "inconsistant" at times even with the same water temps and ambient temps, feels like the ECU is doing something to reduce power sometimes, but a loss of traction hasn't occured
