Sorry but I have the print out showing the 37.6 hp gain, and the car is a totally different car, talk about sop fun.. And yes something was wronng with it going in,,, the stick GM tune,...

ANy good tuner can get your shift points tuned in just right , I went from total mess to a great shifting car. in just a few hours and didnt have to wait for a UPS truck to bring me my tune,

 

Stock 2.56

 

OK thanks.

 

Yes, Correct.....


Some people don't realize that when in "paddle/manual" mode, YOU initiate the shifting

event by pressing the button. Now, you have a reference point for when the shift began

so you can tell how long it takes to complete.

When the trans is in Automatic mode, the driver has no idea when the shift initiated in the pcm,

so in other words..... Trying to gauge the length of time a shift takes when comparing auto

to manual modes..... YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

While most tuners and make a nice improvement in your A6 car, I've done zillions of them

across many platforms and with our AutoCal product I can remotely TUNE or REPAIR

your existing tune. Many tuners who "TRY" to do mail order A6 cars don't get it right or

downright destroy the trans. Mail order tuning an A6 car is not easy like it sounds if you want it

right and you want the best results.

Chuck CoW and AutoCal will get you right where you need to be EVERY TIME.

You're the only person in the world to get almost 40rwhp from a stock car then, lol. If you did get that much, something was quite wrong with how it was running outside of just the stock GM tune. Considering that most LS2s will dyno around 340 stock and LS3s around 380 stock you should either be making almost 380 or 420 with just a tune.

I assume the before/after was done on the same dyno?

Typical results on a stock car will be around 10-15rwhp peak gain.

 

I understand what you're talking about, but the "subtracting horsepower in a flash" shouldn't happen on a dyno unless something is wrong.

 

No matter what the reason for the slow shifts are, if you get someone that knows what they are doing in a tune, they can make the shifts much better. I like Chucks tune and cow booster and beleive me the shifts are way better and at a point that I like and the throttle response is killer. Now I havent done a before or after dyno but the SOP is telling me it is alot more responsive and fun. I dont know if I got more power, which I probably did compared to my last tune, or if its more low end TQ but I can get the back end swaying with no problem if I want to. The tune has made it alot more fun to drive.

 

Thank you Steve! Personally, I've always been a transmission builder and an advocate of TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE.

I've always used a good Pro Torque Converter, TRANS-GO SHIFT KIT, Performance Parts, and GOOD FLUID

with a nice TRANS COOLER.

Back then, I had a small postal scale and would "WEIGH" my springs with the scale and a caliper to make

changes in the tranny. I got very good a "programming" the old Hydraulic T400 and 700R4

among others. I always made the transmissions "FEEL" they way I liked them and I quickly

figured out that my customers liked MY style too. I know how transmissions LIVE and WHY THEY DIE.

Along came the A4 and then the A6 transmissions. They were great units and were really well engineered,

but suffered some "calibration oversights" that left them at risk of failing and caused the customer

to be disappointed with their performance.

The first time I looked at an A4 or A6 computer calibration, it was like I was standing at my old

tranny bench installing a TransGo shift kit! I could actually "SEE" why they felt so mushy and laggy....

HAPPY DAY! I got myself into the tunes and WOW what a difference I could make with a laptop!

Now, these transmissions never break and BOY DO THEY RUN with the proper tuning.

In the past, owning an automatic Vette was as queer as driving a PINK BARBIE VETTE.
