Default 2012 Camaro SS tune???

Let's start by sayin thanks up front for information and opinion on this question.

My dad just picked up a 2012 Camaro SS convertible with an automatic. He had mentioned that it doesn't get out of the whole to good, kinda bogs down then takes off. He's not really looking for more power just to improve the response of the transmission. Can a tune address these issues? I have a C5 vette and I know the auto guys report fair gains with respect to shift points, TQ management and the like.

Thanks again for the info,

Darion

Yes a good tune can wake the car up alot. There are alot of gains from just the transmission tuning.

Thanks for the info.

So I'm thinking for his needs a mail order tune will do the job. Is that the same group of tuners, Edmac, ECS, Cow, as LS C5 tuners. Anybody else?

Im also a sponsor on the Camaro5 forum as a Tuner in Tampa.
Ive done a ton of the Gen5s. Great running cars after a tune. If you have an Automatic, no matter how long you wait to tune them, after the tune you'll wonder why you waited to long. lol

I hate to say it, and im happy for the business, but 90 % of my clients have to A6 transmission.

When I get a manual to tune, its like a little ray of sunshine lol

The A6 transmission are very well developed transmission, but GM has taken the effective fun out of them. Im a through and through manual guy, but after a tune, I love the 6l80/90 transmission.
