After my first tank of fuel, I thought I would give feedback on my first impression of my new tune.
First the cold crank time is less and it rests to an idle sooner.
The shifts at light throttle are softened up a tad ,but this was deliberate.The shifting is much quicker, especially downshifts.
The 4-2 downshift is completely different, it no longer shifts twice simultainously.
It responds so quickly, the downshift occurs before your foot hits the Mat!
The obvious is the limited traction anywhere near 30mph and additional wheel spin on the 1-2 shift.
Throttle response? OMG these headrests are hard!
It even beats the traction control for a few turns.
The Highway;
You just simply run out of nerve:lol:
Lonnie sent me an updated file as my torque converter lock up is slipping @WOT and causing a high trans temp condition.
We uncovered this on one of our many data logging excercises while tuning the driveability issues.
He also spent time trouble shooting the SCT drivers for my laptop and PC, to get me rolling with the new tuner and datalogging.
Looks like my next course is a heavy duty convertor and a bigger transmission cooler.
I just filled up the tank was delighted to see 250 miles on 14.8 gallons.
Considering the rate of travel returning form my tuning venture and I'm still in the discovery mode :burnout:, this tune rocks!
I took a friend for a ride this weekend he said, "Your car was fast, now it's scary!" :eek:
Thanks Lonnie!
