Here is what I asked for.
Something that would shift faster and make use of the full rpm capable of this motor. I did not want anything that banged or jerked around. I also asked for the speed limiter to be higher to make use of the full speedometer. I was sent an engine tune and two transmission tunes. One is more of a mild while the other is wild. The mild tune doesn't jerk you around and when you get on it it shifts and seems to drive better. I noticed it shifted a bit higher in the rpms closer to 5700 where as the stock shifted at 5500. The wild takes it a step further where first gear shifts around 6000 now. all of tq management was removed for the wild setting. Now shifting into second it seems to spin and you can feel the wheels clawing for traction.
I think I will leave the trans tune as the mild for everyday driving and wild for the track.
Here is the big thing I noticed with the updated tune. Now granted it is not an actual track but just an app on my iPhone I take it with a grain of salt. Stock settings it would constantly run a 14.9X @ 91-93mph in the 1/4. I tested it today just to compare and see if it did anything different or if it was just all in my head. The time today was 14.22 @ 99mph.
I know this isn't any solid proof as it's not a track but I must say I am impressed and it's worth the wait. Once I get time I want to back to back tests. Reinstall the stock tunes do a run. Turn off the truck reinstall the BB tune to verify.
Also another cool thing is autocal changed the way the files are saved and it makes them much smaller. When I first found out about the auto cal I was told since I have the 6spd that I would only have enough room for the bb engine and transmission tune. With the new format I am able to have the stock engine, stock transmission, BB 91 tune, mild transmission, and wild transmission. So all five files fit and I am a happy camper.
