I've been told there are many variances. in these 6 speed trans , and some time adj are needed , my 5 * , and SCT 93 has a bad dead spot when down shifting , passing on highway , I agree shift strategies help with quarter mile times I wish there was there was a track near by me to record all this
But I do know with my other tunes either more or less boost, fuel,timing,or transmission strategy programming , the spinning , chirping with 1-2, 2-3 shifts , the power, quickness is more with SoCal, now if my truck had other mods as some of the livernois trucks ,cat backs or body or suspension kits, full race intercooler kits , wheel/tire changes , have or if mine was tuned for my meth I'm very sure SoCal tunes would be even or ahead , but then once certain mods are made to trucks there is a seperation in "classes" a tuned truck vs. a tuned/ modded truck are different. I'm sure as more tunes come to the track things will happen

Shawn sent me a revised tune yesterday (87 Perfermance). Power is the same, tranny shifts are much better both daily driving and WOT. Closer to perfect even than the SCT canned tunes.

I've given up and have cut my loses, Livernois to me seems faster the more I drive it, it pulls hard all the way though the gears and my SoCal falls in third gear. SoCal is fast don't get me wrong, real fast but my butt dyno says not Livernois 93v2 fast, don't have 10 yet. The drivability issue is my main concern, I literally get car sick driving this truck under normal conditions with SoCal. It down shifts in every gear hard and revs 500 rpms every time. When I turn a corner under light throttle it slams into first out of third and then into second hard. Shawn is awesome with his customer support, no doubt about it but his tunes don't fit my style. As far as drivability my 5* 93 is the best. I hope I don't **** you all off but here's your first negative feedback. Over 20 revisions I would think it would be in but it's not.
Hey Chad..Since you notified me over 2 weeks ago that we were running the incorrect strategy we then gave you 2 tunes in which you had told me was "kick assss" and the best you had so far. Im not sure what to think because there were never 20 revisions. ever. Im not trying to tick you off here but please be straightforward. I do my best but if there is a problem and I am not aware of it I certainly cant help. The last conversation you told me it was the best..bar none from every tune you ever had..which I was very pleased to hear. That was on 6/26 with both email and phone records. Only 1 revision for speedo change since correct strategy calibration. If something isn't to your liking please let me know, besides this post.

Sincerely
Shawn

Well ya cause as far as the shifting drivability part that he was talking about, you fixed mine in one revision. I told you were to set my upshifts and downshifts and 15 minutes later I had my new tune, and the shifts were perfect.

I understand I was running the wrong strategy Shawn. But with this strategy I've got the same exact drivability issues that I had with the first one, and yes I told you the first time and numerous times after about the drivability issues, what made me give up is the last phone conversation we had I told you about the down shift issues again and you said you would send me the fix the next day and didn't, your tune is fast and there's no doubt about it and it runs within good perimeters according to Lance. I just can't keep going back n forth on tunes anymore. And you are right I wasn't straight forward and lied on here and I admit it. I only had 17 tunes. Just checked my emails. Sorry fellow members for lying on here just felt like it was over 20 and I know I should have Checked before throwing that out there. If you can't honestly admit that I have told you numerous times about the down shift issues then that's fine. I'm just giving my honest opinion on here. Your right it was the fastest and best one you have sent me thus far and it makes a lot of guys on here happy and I'm happy for them but its not 5* drivability good nor Livernois speed fast. I appreciate your time and putting up with my ignorance on tuning and box code stupidity on my part.

Cbvet, now I know why you said you just wanted to be nice to everybody and walk away after so many tries to correct the tune because you didn't want confrontation. Well you were finally pushed to do a review and now you are being put on the spot because of it. I have been there. You are conflicted between being nice because you don't want confrontation and giving other forum members your review so they can be well informed.

Also, just as I didn't agree with Torrie getting into it with Lanmorga in a thread, I don't agree with it here as well. Socal, do that kind stuff with PMs and if you fix it then I am sure he will give you a positive review on your behalf. It does not look good to me when you call a member out in a thread. What would have looked good is if you would have asked cbvet if you can call him personally to get his issues resolved. You would have got a plus 1 from me for that even if he would have said no instead of a minus 100 for what you just did.

The first, say, 15 were with the wrong box code so shawn got two actual shots at his tune. I more than most definitely understand wanting to give up after many revisions. Completely understand. His choice, his experience, his review.

Lets move on

Your right but what does it matter if its the exact same issues as the first box code. Exact same problem to a tee. Your right its my opinion. If we were all the same it sure would be a boring world.

Dude I was on your side saying that your are entitled to you review and now that you have stated it, we can move on... and there is no need to debate it.

So, lets move on.

I agree on moving on, you said he only had 2 try's on the new box code and your right but I felt like I needed to say that it's the same issue with both of the box codes. No hard feelings toward you at all and I don't care about the money. I have really learned a whole crap load from you and really appreciate it. If you recommend another one down the road I will be the first to try it again. Thanks again.
