6A shift programming
My C7 coupe shift program seems to have a fuel cutoff built in right at the instant of gear change. It causes a momentary loss of power for an instant, and creates a pop in the exhaust note (NPP equipped).
This happens with either full auto mode shifting, or in paddle shift mode in any and all driving modes. I am sure this was intentional to save on tranny wear and tear, but I liked the "hit" my C6 gave when it shifted out and the front end jumped up and chirped the tires.
It only happens at full throttle, and the shifts are very crisp and fast, but instead of a kick back into the seat, it does the opposite for just an instant before picking up to WOT.
My question, can this be programmed out, to shift like my "old" 2013 C6 with the same transmission?

Exactly, the fuel cut is there to substantially reduce shift times. I would guess programming it out would be counterproductive.
Upshifts in the C7 are very crisp, particularly in Performance Shift Mode, not sure why anybody would want to change that.

Last week I let my buddy drive my C7. He said" it feels just like a regular automatic."
I told him my C6 felt that way when I first got it but after 8 years the tranny really popped thru the gears. So I told him to give it a little more throttle at the next light. "Wow!" was all he said....me too as I hung on!

I had Chuck Cow retune my trans and it shift awesome now. He also did a engine and I got his Cow Booster that really woke everything up. It's very responsive now and picked up a couple more mile to the gallon. Give him a call 914-332-0049. If you call him tell him that Charlie post this on the Forum. He can take care of you.

Likely not...
Likely not... We're too busy here and that show consumes much more time (for me) than the 3 days the show lasts.
Corvette production is the lowest it's been in 20 years and lastly, many of us vendors have lost 10's of thousands
to Tornados and similar weather that historically ruins at lease one of the three days every year and sends the
crowds home for shelter. Many other big vendors have pulled out too.
I'm expecting that if the weather is cooperative we'll do an event here at the end of the summer.
Watch the forum to see what we're up to over here.
Thank you.

i autocross my c7
and im looking for this answer too, it seems that in drive(at start) its in 1st gear, but it never drop's down to 1st again during the run(even when needed) its seems the car has to come to a dead stop before it will drop into 1st again. this is what i feel in the seat, i wish it would drop in 1st when it can, hard tight turns-ect.

YES, it can be done either way....
but does your trans tune drop back into 1st gear from 2nd when needed while in DRIVE, track mode. to me this is the only thing im missing on my c7( yes i have thumbs) but in tight autocross events their are many times when i miss shift points by just a few yards. i will be calling myself but just wanted to know what you feel, to most this does not mean much, to me (everything). thanks
Changes the feel completely for the better.
Give both a try and see what you like best.....
