I thought you had the 5.0 coming after you LOL
How good does the auto tune work? Does it just get you close and then you can go in and clean it up, or is it good enough after the auto tune that you leave it alone?

like if you get it to 10.0 in boost and you just keep rolling into it, it will slowly trim it to the target. this will take a long time if you are really far out of whack, and it will drive like **** obviusly if you are too lean and trying to accelerate haha
so at first its best to have someone who can do a little tuning drive with you and get the tables between 11.0 and 14.0 while driving.
then the auto can trim and show you trouble spots.
recently i let it work on my friends 5.3 car for fun on the dyno and it was super fat, like 9.0 bottomed out just because i wanted to make sure it was safe i had alot of fuel in around 20lbs.
i just rolled into it the first time and it was coughing so let out of that first pull it trimmed and the next 4 got it to a 10.5 nearly arrow strait.
i was targeting 11.0 so we left it there for the track to see how it will trim at the track.
its not perfect but it is very nice for driving by yourself and there are easy results with it.

Have you personally EVER used MS3? To be honest its one of the most UNuserfriendly softwares ive ever witnessed. It took like a week just to get my buddies turbo mustang started on it, it has a buncha useless features that just irritate and confuse you. It took a couple tries/days for my friend/tuner to get his car running on MS3 and to be honest my buddies made 1kwhp on LSx cars 800hp hondas, turbo mustangs, he's seen alot of tuning software and MS3 was just annoying as ****. Sorry to **** on your thread OP, just felt like i should throw my .02 cents in, since i have toyed with ms3 before. Oh and just to give you an idea of how annoying it is, this was with a "plug and play" kit from DIYautotune, i can only imagine how shitty it would be to wire a whole swap from scratch based on ms3 LOL. **** that ****.

its way faster if you get it close but then its nice that it cleans up everywhere in between, its not perfect but it does work really well.

Great video, his reaction is pretty funny.
Denmah how do you guys know which 4l80e to pick? So many people are selling them for like 400? Stock of course. That's cheaper then building my t56 and buying a street twin, and obviously everyone likes the
80e for daily driving.

Ill have to take a look at some local JYs, not too many people keeping the t56 in high horsepower applications with success.
