As it should, especially if you are planning on getting our turbo kit in the future!

:eyebulge::usa: WANT.

The exhaust sounds so much better in person, none of the videos do it justice. If you listen to the videos on really good speakers or headphones it's close, but you still don't hear the deep tone this exhaust produces.

Adam is there a way you could get the auto to have launch control? I know it's probably not possible but I'm just curious.

The torque converter is what controls launching an auto. It's not a matter of tuning.

However Cobb is working on something, and I should be one of the first to try it out hopefully. Will keep you updated on that!

I just hate when I try to launch over 2500 my tires start spinning.

 

[dbmonster]

Oh wow, very curious to know how that works. Neutral drop? Lol

That is the fault of a fast spooling turbo that nets you 400+wtq at 2600rpms haha. You want more traction, do a bigger turbo! :lol:

...Or more rubber. 255s are on the small side for that much tq.

Adam, can you guys alter TC parameters? Also, any word on when COBB will be able to access the other modes, like SPort+ or Track?

omg just get a used supra that thing sounds like a rattletrap pos!!!
just wasted 30 sec of my life on this

Wow this is impressive. Can't wait to see that big turbo kit and the numbers on this one. Getting crazy power out of these cars. Know a tune is in my future at some point for sure

Going to disagree with this statement, there are quite a few things that can be altered/changed for the 6R80 tuning wise; yes, a better TC helps but its not all the TC.

Better/stickier/wider tires help that out.

Bigger turbo's are nice but that means you are coming out of the hole on all engine and the 2.3 is not a good choice for that; had a twin turbo 2013 5.0 that I could not make boost at the line and came out on all motor and did not really get moving until the big end. I tried numerous combinations to try to build boost at the line and no luck. That was on an automatic with a Circle D 5C so yes, it had a better TC in it.

I am not raining on the bigger turbo parade but moving the torque curve 1000 rpms to the right from approx. 2500 to 3600 means you are going to lose the oomph off the line and you will need more room to get the larger turbo spooling to reel anyone in.

MAP's turbo kit is tempting but I want to stick with the more street usable quicker hit vice the better top end since I will be at the track maybe 2-3 times a year.

The key here is what was the stall of your converter?

What I meant was you can't change the rpm that the TC locks up at, but I am far from being an expert on automatics. I stick to 3 pedals.
