I am interested in getting a tune for my A6 eventually, but all of the data I see is about the drag strip. I would love for someone to review how the tunes help with shift time and firmness on upshifts and downshifts other than just saying Yep our tune will do those things. How will the tune affect the different driving modes, things like that. I think once a vendor really lays all of those details out and does a nice review video, that will be the vendor I choose.

in all honesty, it's easy to make the a6 work at light throttle, however you want it.

the trick is being able to make it work at wot, and under higher hp loads.

there is a lot involved there.

on the 11-14 platform, lund has, vortech, Paxton, procharger, whipple, kb, and blower cars going 8's on the 6r80.

there is a reason, that almost every high hp car jumps over to lund from tuner ABC when they want to go quick with a 6r80.

very few tuners have gotten a 9 out of a 6r80, much less a multitude of 8's.

and then look at the standing mile record holders, again, lund.

you can find multiple threads here where cars that we have had lund tunes for have requested harder shifting, softer shifiting, etc..

lund has a standard way they like to do things, but can tailor shifting to how the customer likes. it's done everyday!

edit:

and I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but there is a reason, that a car that has been out for 8 months now, only a couple guys are at the top of their game, such as lund and livernois.

they aren't waiting on companies like sct to release parameters to tune, they use their own software, and engineer their own tunes. not work off what someone else hand's them.

Lund, Livernois, and a select few are really the best of the best, and I said it back a year ago ,that the 15 was going to separate the men from the boys on tuning!

Best auto tune I had was VMP on 2012.. I tried 3x different ones. It netted me a 12.4 at 114.$# in the quarter, back to back on street tires and offf road x pipe only mods.. Of course this is a different car, so take it as such.

I have a Lund tune I purchased from Team Beefcake Racing. Really notice it in "Normal" mode more than any other. Not as lazy as it was before and shifts are firmer. It was worth it to me.

Great....so what exactly did you specify when you ordered the tune (street, street/strip, etc)?
Was it anything more than a tune to help with shifting parameters or was it also a power tune?
And how much different is the shifting of the new "normal mode" now compared to "sport mode" before the tune?
So many questions, I know. Thanks.

Sorry for the slow reply. Busy weekend. I didn't really specify anything so I guess it would be considered a "canned" tune on a stock car. Shifting in normal mode isn't as aggressive as sport mode under light throttle but when you get on it feels more like sport mode. In light throttle driving shifts are just more firm/positive. No dyno numbers to address power but I would guess there has to be some increase. Shift points are higher in Sport mode. Haven't played with Track Mode.
