Bad experiences with 1_bad_ls1 mail order tunes? My transmission went after 100kms of driving and then again after being rebuilt , does anyone else have any experiences that have ended like this? I only have the tune, longtubes and intake done to the car and car wont shift into second without letting up on the throttle...

Disabled EGR, AIR, COT, TCS, Rear 02s, ect...
Claibrated MAF, adjusted the parmimters in: throttle cracker, PE table, both VE tables, both Spark Tables, base running airflow, throttle follower tables, part throttle shift tables, full throttle shift speed tables, full throttle shift rpm tables, force motor current tables, desired shift time tables, shift pressure tables, tcc duty cycle tables, torque reduction tables, ect...
ive been told that its my transmission, or torque converter and then no replies since.

The tuner stopped messaging me back after i asked for a refund, the transmission shop says the line pressures are off, instead of being at say 150 at a full throttle shift the line pressure is 60, they are reversed and shifting at high pressure at part throttle. They are having someone come and diagnose and fix that problem tomorrow but thats just fixing 1bad_ls1's hack job tune. Good thing they sold there tuning equipment because it could have happened to a lot more people.

I was wondering.. The tuner stopped messaging me back after i asked for a refund, the transmission shop says the line pressures are off, instead of being at say 150 at a full throttle shift the line pressure is 60, they are reversed and shifting at high pressure at part throttle. They are having someone come and diagnose and fix that problem tomorrow but thats just fixing 1bad_ls1's hack job tune.

The psi is controlled by a force motor.. He obviously didn't know wtf was with the settings..Thus your fubar pressures.
From my EFILIVE tune program:
"The pressure control solenoid (or force motor) is controlled by the PCM by varying the current flow to the solenoid.
The PCM can vary the current from 0.0 amps (high pressure) to 1.1 amps (low pressure).
The pressure control solenoid produces a "torque signal pressure" which determines the final transmission line pressure."
Frost could likely clean it up for you.

I bought a mail order tune from that hack job *** hat when he had them on sale over a year ago...
long story short, I had a friend that owns a shop take a look at it through his hp tuners cable..
1. Short term fuel trims were turned off
2. Line pressure for trans turned up
3. Was pinging at idle
By the time I could get him to look at it, it was too late. Had a small bubble from the passenger head.
He's a complete tool that screwed me over very badly, I should have just got a frost tune but like I said, his was on sale.
Also fwiw I don't bash people on here but this thread caught my attention because since I dealt with him I have talked to three other members...all three were unsatisfied and had problems with his tunes.
Hope you get it resolved and don't have the same trouble I had,

This simple little thing is what gets most people in trouble. The cheap price is not always the best deal.
$25000 car, $6000 in mods and people will let a few hundred dollars tempt them into something instead of going with someone or something reliable and proven.
Hate to say it but I have done it myself!
