Taking Your A6 to The Next Level - Tuning to have the best of both worlds Hey guys, we want to make you aware of the enhancements available now as we have been developing our A6 program since the software came out a few years ago and slowly but surely refining it. We now have the most comprehensive A6 programming available for Corvettes, Camaros, G8s, and Trucks. We are able to offer a personalized transmission tune to however you desire it. For example: The normal drive mode or D can be set up so that it has crisper and less time consuming shifts, yet still be the forgiving daily driver that is most enjoyable for less aggressive driving. Then in sport mode, make it as aggressive as can be done.
This is not for only the "RACER", this is for anyone that is looking to optimize the factory tune. We have tuned 100s of A6s and had no transmission issues. We recently had 2 trans inspected after nearly 2 years running our programming and both techs said the trans looked "brand new". We keep the OEM strategy of the direct relation of throttle input to shift time and firmness; more throttle, faster and firmer shifts. Less throttle light shift pressure and longer duration shifts.
-We can now offer a tri-modal setup (for everything except trucks). The factory normal "D" or "drive" mode is slow and sloppy, on a scale of 1-10 it would be a 1. Some ***** are over 1 full second. We have found that most customers like to take it to about a 4 or 5 (on a scale of 1-10) in terms of shift firmness and shift speed and torque management. In other words a very distinct upgrade over factory: about 40% faster shifts and a mild amount of firmness at lower throttle and moderate.
-We can also make the Sport mode and the Manual mode much more aggressive; able to chirp the tires in between gears even on a completely stock vehicle. We can SAFELY cut down the shift duration to about 2-3 tenths of a second, per gear under heavy throttle without any compromise to the longevity of the trans. This would be about a 6-8 (on a scale of 1-10) depending on your personal preference. The shifts are about 60% faster and the firmness is more aggressive to much more aggressive depending on throttle position.
Recently we had a customer with a unique request that we keep the Normal "D" almost completely stock or in a "Wife Mode" but yet he wanted the full blown aggressive shifts under the "sport" mode. We were able to deliver and both husband and wife were very pleased.
For those of you that play around with the paddle shifts and are unhappy with the speed or accuracy of the shifts we have the perfect solution for you. With what we offer, you will be able to hit your shift points much quicker, without having to anticipate the rev limit to such a degree that the stock configuration is.
We have heard many complain about the Manual mode not shifting back to 1st gear in stock trim, we have fixed that issue and we can select the speed where to shift back to whichever gear. We can also cut down the duration of the downshifts as well as set about a heavier throttle threshold for gear kick down.
-We can offer any shade of gray from mild to wild and any blend in between, having different modes (sport, Manual, and Drive) is a beautifully versatile thing!
We have tuned all sorts of power levels from completely stock to aggressively ported heads with large cam strokers with superchargers.
For those that have had their vehicle tuned by others, we have seen numerous opportunities for improvement, as the shifts can be way too aggressive and shorten the life of the trans. or just minimal adjustments that are insufficient and unable to reach the full potential. We have reprogrammed many customers vehicles, and they have been much more satisfied with how in depth we go and all the options that we can provide, by custom tailoring each tune to your specific needs.
In all that we do - whether it is porting or tuning we try to go over above and beyond what is expected, to go the extra mile and can bring the most to the table with over 11 years of experience tuning and modding LSx based vehicles.
Thank you
