Wondering if i can attach a picture from DataViewer some how .

I forgot to say that when the car used 3rd gear at full , it changes to 4rt only for a short while before it switches back 3rd again
for about 1- 1,5 second , and only then back to 4rth . Its just like a 1.5 sec lag in acceleration after 90 mpr .
It could be nice if i could set the 4rth gear change at WOT lets say at exactly 85mph and no way it would change back to 3rd unless its 84mph .What i am trying to say is if gearbox could upshift gears at WOT at certain speeds like 2nd -25mph ,3rd -60,
4rt-85 , fifth i dont know never get there at WOT , regardless of what rpms engine is running at .
Is that possible ? I know that i can change shift points with Predator + 20 - of what i have now ,but I am fine with
shift points which i have at the moment , i just do not want rpms interfere with them , because i know for sure that the 3rd gear
kiks back in when rpms reaching 5800 or what ever limit i set with Predator .

Today i put JLT Induction Tune into the car , without Firm Shift , the same thing , car gets to the 3rd gear at WOT with
no problem , then it changes to 4rt (only for 2 seconds ) , back to 3rd (1 - 1.5 second) , then back to 4rth and keeps
going as normal , that happens only at WOT .

Can someone help me please .

Can someone from techsupport help me , Please .

I use JLT 93 Octane Firm Shift or BamaChips 93 Octane Race Tune , same problem like Warped3d .

In few words , car gets to the 3rd gear at WOT with no problem , then it changes to 4rt (only for 2 seconds ) , back to 3rd (1 - 1.5 second) , then back to 4rth and keeps going as normal , that happens only at WOT .

For you guys having this issue please email me [email protected]

Please include the tune that is in the vehicle when this occurs, the Predator part #, revision #, and any changes you made in the custom parameters.

To get the tune that is in the car you must go into the Custom Tune menu in the Predator and hit Export Last Tune Written, then get tune file from Predator on the DS Dowloader software. The problem tune must be the tune that was written to the car last also.

I'm trying to cover all the bases on this issue so we can fix it in a future revision.

Thanks,

I am trying to repair it so the issue is gone and you won't have to email me for future tuning.
Whoever emails me now allows me to verify the issue in other calids so I don't miss any for the future update.

Hey Kevin, I'm running into this same problem with a 2006 Mustang. I used an up to date Intune i1000 with the 93 octane tune. What parameters need to be changed?
