A4 road course shift tuning I was playing around with the HP tuners and the shift tables and thought of this way to make my A4 better for going around a road course. Since the auto isn't the very best for this, I believe my method will help it. I've tested it to a slight degree and really liked it.
I would like to have a separate tune sheet for just road course. For all TPS positions 0-100, I would have the same number for the upshifts. Like 40 for 1st, 90 for 2nd, 140 for 3rd and for the downshifts, 35, 85, and 135 respectively.
This way the transmission won't shift until at redline and will hold the gear longer so we can use it when we need it. I thought of this after playing some Gran Turismo on my PS2. I liked how it would keep it in gear until redline, no matter how much throttle you gave it then downshift to get you into the right gear.
I tried it out with first gear and I really liked it, but it's obviously something only for racing.
Give me your input guys.
