I still dont have it back in ya know...btw is your torque converter able to lock up at wot? That’s in the tune. Would help out with shifting.

Yea but kinda frowned upon with stock 6l80, there are some billet hard parts available. Not sure if i'll get one built when this one goes. the more I drive it with this much power 6 gears feels like way to many

I’m thinking that’s what caused one of my billet hard parts to break in my 4l60 lmao. It has the best available of every part and yet...

talk to a guy who caught a couple nice vids last time out, nice hd cam, not sure how to embed at a certain time... first run is about the 4min mark...i think there's another about 7:50 in
you can really see how terrible the 1-2 shift is on the first one

Thanks for posting that! Fun to watch. [emoji106] And your Denali looks like a blast to drive. [emoji16] wait til you get it all dialed in.

Are you saying I should swap in a tr6060? :Big Laugh:

Yaaaaaaaasss!! I've really considered it for mine. I think it'd be easier than a 6L80 swap: Use the shifter and pedals from a truck and load a work truck profile so it doesn't freak out about the traction control transmission stuff, etc.


BTW, I tried to embed that video at the ~4:18 mark where it's bucking as if between shifts but it obviously didn't work.
