Is a trans tune worth it??

[RGPIII]

And part of this I told him no more slow slips while at the track if I am tuning him 🤣 at the end of the day it’s all about the fun. Going 10.1 miles wasn’t fun becuase he knew he should be faster. First revision a gain ok now this is getting interesting. Second file even faster. I’m ready to send a third to put the thing to the moon and he says next week I’ll be on better prep 😊
I sent an email today not sure if you saw it. Asking about your axle situation. There’s a real chance you pop the front up real quick on this file. So i want to make sure you are prepared driveline wise. If you are on the demons absolutely no hop or they will grenade. @jgilj saw that happen to a similar tune on a demon a few weeks ago. It came up and the axle exited the building. He’s on better axles now and a second gear launch 🤣

So is he gonna be fast soon?

Speed is a matter of money, how fast do you want to go?

I forgot you’re bone stock with a tcm tune only right? Or tune only?

Yes at the moment I have a trans Tune and a tune for pump gas. Stock air box, gears suspension.
If I get my goal I might try E85 or race gas.
Then blower change.😉👍

Just go e85 man you’ll never ever see knock and can make all the boost well worth the investment, because you’ll need the fuel system later down the line anyway

I have injectors waiting and working on pumps at the moment. The only issue is E85 is only available in a can so not cheap.
As long as I reach my goals for the spring then I will be trying it before the blower swap.

IDK but I guess I have to stop my rivalry trash talk with him because now we are on the same team.
So I guess that leaves you and your slow car

Being his tuner you could always just not make his car as fast as yours 🤔🤔

As stated above a transmission tune can prolong the life of the transmission if done right.

Nice to know.

Why?

 

[Unholy707]

Why?

What do you mean why?

 

[fumanchu182]

Why?

The effective octane rating of e85 is equivalent to 104. Which I ran Sunoco 260 GT Plus to get that on traditional gasoline.

E85 does knock different
