2009+ Cadillac CTS-V

Build failed again?

What'd the bosses car show on the dyno, more then the original gains? If the temps stay up, I should be hitting the dyno sometime around Thanksgiving. Gonna do both, upper and lower pullies, and see if I can hit 700.

I saw 484 rwhp after the tune today, with consistent back to back pulls.

it may still be building, should be ready tomorrow for sure. Also added shift point adjustments for sport mode

[Mike_Levy]

Really? Thats a BIG gain. These cars are losing generally 18% through the drivetrain, so 484 at the wheels would be 590 at the flywheel. A 34hp gain. NICE!

Now the boss needs to gut his airbox or get an intake. The stock tube is horrible!!

[mikel]

Yeah, I was looking at that thing, its junk. The airaid is a nice piece for sure

[mikel]

sent you an email...

[Mike_Levy]

Dyno graph? Got it. Really liking the big torque gain before the peak.

[wetcoast]

wetcoast, I will send you the update he is making now as soon as its ready

Thanks

I suppose I can share the dyno

Is there any way that the tranny can be setup like the IS-F and 335i, with the converter locking immediately after take-off and staying locked? That helps response immensely, and eliminates the surge when manually downshifting. Would be great if it could be set up to match revs too, but that may be a bit out of the realm of a tuner.

Mike those numbers look great is this dyno sheet from an auto V ??? Also will this tune be able to make a change for a 160 t-stat and if so are the fans ran by degree settings or power percentage?

The converter control is all mph based so it could be done, 1 and 2 in normal mode Drive and Sport mode, it never lock up, TUTD it locks up in 2nd.
But yeah that is something that can be altered.
Rev match is probably not something it is capable of , my 335 does all of that thou

Yes, bone stock automatic, and you'll have fan control as well

This is the last tester, it will become the release soon.

Anyone with a V or any 6 speed auto is welcome to give it a shot, and enjoy

Added a few new V things, shift points for normal and sport, and an intercooler time delay param...

A couple issues. Its with the CROM you sent me this morning.

93 octane tune, Hard TCM setting.

First and most annoying, when driving around like a parking lot at low speed, it likes to go to second gear. When you lightly press the gas, theres a delay and then it slams into first, sending a nasty shudder through the drivetrain. Doesn't happen with the Firm TCM program.

Second, the motor doesn't seem to want to rev with the 93 tune. I didn't have this problem with the 91 tune with the first CROM, but with this one it builds revs very slowly, blower screaming the whole time

And last, you're gonna need to give instructions for the Modify Tune settings. I don't have any idea how to set some of them and I've been here for years. How is a newb gonna feel?

[Mike_Levy]

Oh, and when it asks if I want to restore the default layouts in logging, it won't let me hit Yes. It just doesn't do anything.
