[QUOTE="TX 14 GT/CS, post: 15914726, member: 190284"] I've been through 3 tuners and multiple revisions with 2, all using SCT. Seems as we can't get shift rpm's at wot consistent or daily normal driving shift firmness /shifting at appropriate speeds set satisfactory. Tuner 3 at wot (tc off, no wheel spin) 1-2 shifts @ 6500, sometimes 7000+ and sometimes it will hit a hard limiter past 7500. 2-3 and 3-4 shift @ 7100. Tuner 2, 1-2 shifts 6640, 2-3 shifts range from 6650-7085 rpm. 3-4 shift are most consistent @ 7090 almost always. Daily driving light throttle (1/4 or less) it will be in 5th before 40 mph, 6th before 45 mph. Highway cruise @ 75 mph, wanna give a little to do an easy downshift to pass someone without going to 3rd or 4th...depending on tuner 1/4 to 7/8 throttle to get to 5th gear. I like firm quick shifts but not neck snapping and it seems hard to get what I want in one package without a lot of communication with the correct tuner...which I have yet to find. Power wise 2 of the 3 were excellent...but none have been able to get consistent shifts at a set at 7000 wot, or daily driving as requested. Tuner 2 can get excellent daily manners, but not consistent wot shifts...well they are consistently low. Tuner 3 are consistently inconsistent but higher for the most part but drivability sucks.(shift wise) Lots of data logs, emails, phone calls and time. Shame it won't shift at wot when I hit the +. Kinda miss the old days of manual shifting my auto...when I say shift it did! [/QUOTE]
