Glad to hear of someone with similar results to mine!
I still need to datalog and get the files to John but just with the boxed eTune its a completely different car. Without any custom tuning the shifting on my 7at has changed drastically, looking forward to seeing what happens when we get it tweaked.
Without an AWD dyno in the area I'm beyond happy with the eTune process, can't believe I waited so darn long.

Rex I def need your help with my tune when you get a chance bro. I've not even began the research phase of it yet. Would love to skip a few steps n jump right to the top if possible. But if it's better to start lower n work your way up I'm all in for that as well.

I really wanted him to dyno tune mine but, same thing, CT is tough to get to with the car. If I wind up going to sedan meet I may head into LI and take the ferry over depending on how much time I have. At the same time, it may wind up just being to get HP/TQ numbers.

And imagine that it's running strong now and you on the his least aggressive tune
The first two maps he has you run and very band( IN his opinion) if sort out the fueling, and ECT. Then he dials it up on the last map he sends, and it is the most aggressive but still super safe. I have seen zero knock on mine ( Check engine light will flash if the car sees any knock).
You'll have access to all three VIA the map switching

Update on the knock I'm getting, ran an octane booster in my recent tank of gas and it totally eliminated my knock. I am running my car on one of the more aggressive maps provided by my tuner. With the booster the car runs like a beast, if I don't run booster I'll just run one of the milder maps I have. I know running booster is not great for our cars but it will be fun running it every now and then just for ****s and giggles.

Yes I run 93 OCT and I also run a bottle of turbo 108( Oct booster) 2 times a month. Car does run strong. I broke the rears loose and chip HARD hitting 2nd last Thursday. Pretty impressive since a have a X sedan.

QUESTION: I have just over 51k on my car now and want to get the tranny fluid changed. While I'm at the dealer I'm going to complain about delayed downshifting, etc. to get them to provide the TSB on the tranny. DO you guys think I should even do that or will the tune solve that problem? Currently there isn't much of a lag like there used to be before I got the UpRev tune, but it's still a little slow on the downshift if I hit it hard.
