Good idea to have the transmission done at 50k.  Keep up that rule and your transmission will love you long time!

Got some exhaust work done. 

Swapped the Borla S type muffler for a Flowmaster super 10. It's quite a bit louder but not too loud. Perfect.

Here's a 2 second sound clip cold start.

That's the biggest video I can upload

Okay you have about $400 left of that budget. See that envelope on the counter with my address on it?

Sad thing is, those handheld tuners don't really even change that much because they are just pre-built calibrations very specific changes to get a desired outcome.

 

They can help but still so much could be done if they were able to go in and change things after each specific gear change. Like shift speed/timing, pressures, on-coming clutch pressure presets, torque converter lockup settings.

 

 

Hey @CamGTP would something like the FlashPaq allow me to better tune the shifting? So that I'm not putting in a new transmission again, anytime soon?
