gains from a tune on an A6

[zaquhree]

So I ran the car last night after getting it tuned by Eric Brooks over at Brooks Speed.

Stock:
12.999 @ 109.89 in 88* weather Florida humidity from the dealership bone stock
60' on this run was 2.013

Modded:
12.613 @ 111.87 in the same weather conditions but with Stainless Works cat-back & x-pipe, tune, and 285 NT555 tires.
60' was 1.933 on this run.
1/8th didn't record properly (8.2 @ 27mph)

I feel like there is more in the car, I am hitting the traps shifting into 4th gear right at the end unfortunately.

How does this compare to what else is out there? :cheers:

What gears do you have?

What gears do you have?

If he's hitting 4th before the traps he has to have 3.55's, with 3.15's the car will stay in 3rd

Op, curious what are your WOT shift-points with the tune?

I figured that because I have 3.55s but just wanted to make sure.

I actually have 3.15's, the car is shifting to 4th at 114-116 MPH according to the speedometer.

My car is shifting at 6,500 first and 6,750 after that for every gear.

Wow, that's strange. Have your tuner raise the shift-points to 7000-7200 and you'll go through in 3rd and your ET and MPH will improve for sure.

Excellent advice. That shift into 4th just before you cross isn't helping at all.

With 3.55s I'm riding 4th out till I cross the line.

What size rear tire and what are your shift-points set at?

 

[zaquhree]

That's weird. My shift from 1-2 is happening at 6,500, 2-3 is happening at 6,750 and my 3-4 shift is happening at 6,750 as well. For my tires I am running a 285/40/zr18 NT555

Just got a response and he said since my setup is so basic (tune only and catback) that I shouldn't need to datalog...kinda unsure on how I feel about that -_-

I have a Lund tune and Jon needed a datalog to get my shift-points right. I'd ask your tuner to raise them, I think you'll notice a big difference!

 

[zaquhree]

He is saying my setup is basic and I don't need to datalog. Although he said he does revisions, I'm not too satisfied at this point ugh.

I could see where a revision wouldn't be necessary but your shift points should still be raised.

Where are y'alls A6 cars shifting at?
