A4 shift RPM Heys guys, i'm going to race (1/4 mile) my brother in his 03 Mach1 on 09/01. I have Vinci Tuner and was wondering which shift program to pick, stock or performance? Not sure if raising my shift RPM with a stock cam is beneficial or not. My car is an 2000 A4 with stock cam, converter with 3:15 gears. My bolt-ons are blackwing, lS6 intake and longtubes. Anyone with this tuner let me know if you have any advice. Most importantly is that I beat him!

Hey guys, any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Just can't let that Mach 1 win. I'm going to More Performance on thursday to have mike give me a tune before the big grudge match. Don't want to leave any performance on the table. Just have to get a good launch. Thanks in advance!

mine shifts at about 6000-6100 rpm with stock programming and mods listed below. I'm not familar with the tuner you have, but I'm guessing that a much higher rpm shift point wouldn't help much over stock.

yes, set the shift firmness to performance. if you set the trans shifting to performance, make sure you are using at least hiperf/stock cam tune. if you use stock/stock, you'll hit the rev limiter.

The big grudge match is over, and another mustang went down! My dyno numbers 333hp and 338tq. I ran 13.2 @ 106mph. Had problems getting traction off the line as the track was quite slick. All in all not to bad. Thanks again for all the info.
