PM me if you have any Maxxecu LS/8HP questions or need access to 8HP flash tool for Maxxecu setups.
Post some pictures please.

Care to give us some more details about how things work when using the Maxx for engine and transmission controls?

Yes, I've been a beta participant. The process is fairly simple. Wire the 8HP and a supported shifter (this car uses a Challenger shifter) to the Maxxecu CAN, and then source a Yanhua ADCP-2 flash tool to flash the 8HP with Maxxecu's custom firmware. Some dealers can rent the tool but not many US dealers have the tool available yet. I have a flash tool available to rent if someone can't access one through their dealer. In the Mtune software, there is minimal setup. A torque table, target RPM shift table, and miscellaneous drop-down options for shifter selection, transbrake operation, and driving mode. Shiftcut and throttle blip are optional but very easy to configure. Maxxecu has its entire MTune instructions on its website- including 8HP instructions.
