I still can,t data log, but I can wait on the new tune.When I shift manualf, the 1 , 2 shift feels likeits not getting completely out of 1st or the second gear servo may be a little slow,because it feels slushy at first then it barely chirps and goes on.All others work perfectly when shifted manually.Put it in drive and it hits hard and firm in second gear, and good in the others. I do think the 2 , 3 needs to come down 250 -300 RPM.3 , 4 down mabe 200 RPM.I can drive it through these little gliches with a little shifter finesse.It would be nice to manual shift and get the firmer shift , like it does in drive.I'm ok with it for now. Actually it's almost spot on for my kind of driving.When you get ready to pass a car, you better be IN the passing lane when it kicks down!!
I hope this helps in getting a good tune out soon some. Thaks so much Mike. Going on another ralley sunday morning. I'm really going to have some fun then.
My wife loves the shirt. Thanks, your friend Bud.

ONE HAPPY HILLBILLY

I think me and the trans are getting to know each other a little better.Also the car is pulling hard all the way to the shift points now. The air is a little better right now. Still seems to bind for a few miliseconds on the 1,2 shiht when I shift manual then it hits good.It does best when I leave in drive,as soon as it hits second, I pull it down to second ,before it spins the tires so much it goes to third,and thst is almost instantly. Then shift out manual from there.According to my G-Tech, it gained almost 3 tenths. It seems my mph went down 3 or four .before(12.49@118) now(12.21@115).I will keep in touch with anything I think might help us both. Thanks again Mike. Fun factor at least double!!!!

Now that the trans and I get to know each other a little better,the better it gets.I go to the same place for all these runs,so even thuogh the G-Tech my not be spot on, it should show the results of the changes made close enough.Today, in 98 degree weather the bone stock mustang with 3:15 gears went 12.20@120 mph! I really like the way the trans works when crusing around.I would like for the 2,3 change to be a little firmer.All the top gears could hit harder for the way I drive.It's pretty darn good now though.The only thing is the slight bind when you shift it manual.It only seems to show up in the 1,2 shift. Tell me If you need to know anything that might help.I will keep you informed as best I can.I'm going to slip out when it cools down a little and see what happens.

See Ya Later Mike, (Bud)

[email protected] got on the highway,there is no interstate around, and before I ran out of asphalt my GPS was reading 165 MPH in 5th gear when I had to shut down It was still pulling.Outstanding.THe place I test has a slight downhill grade for about 15 feet,but that is the same every time so I can tell when it is running different.This is slight.I figure I could swap my little starting line hill for some 373s, and the result would be about the same.2.06 60ft compared to 2.15 on a flat surface.I want to do a few more mods , but I'll wait for the new trinity release just in case I need it.I guess my factory tune is gone, but who needs it?.Is there a way I can get my old Trinity to data log?

Thanks Mike.You have really been a good friend and there should be more people in this world like you.
Thanks again Bud Lum ( Norphlet Arkansas) (870)310-5982 Call any time

Awesome, thats scootin Bud!!

I would think the trinity with the update I sent you will log, does it not?
Will it show live data in the monitoring menus?

I didn'y know you sent an update.Ihaven't been able to get it to recognize.Did you update it before you gave it back to me ?If so it doesn't.If you sent me an update I guess I haven't found it yet, but I'll look now.I'm not sure I know how,but I am going to try.

Thanks Mike.

It just says start engine, then data stream stopped.It's not recognizing my car.

Sorry, I meant the update I loaded while you were here.

So, when you go to monitoring, and select one of the layouts, it wont work....odd.

budlun · Post by **budlun** » Fri Aug 06, 2010 11:49 am

I will wait untill the update is ready.That should take care of everything.Looks like I picked up .5 in 1/4 mile.from12.90 to 12.43.
That is on flat surface with no staeting line hill.Tonite I go to Prescott Raceway to tune my buddy,
's seven second small block FORD ProbeI'll check it there and see what happens!!!

Thanks Mike.You have been great at responding and helping
Thanks again,BUD LUM

I just got back from the track!!The air was awful,about 85 degrees, but very humid. We only have a thousand foot track. My first pass was 10.70@101 MPH.I let it cool for a little over an hour,since I drove it 70 miles one way.The next pass was a [email protected] had to shift manual to keep it in the right gear at all times ahd the 1,2 shift slows it down a little.All in all a great nite.I beat up on a couple of really bitchen vettes,one with 100 shot of nitrous.I am going to Red River in a week or so to get some full 1\4 runs. My Trinity does read my VIN# and other,but still can't monitor or data log.I hope you have a tune for me to download by then, or mabe my new Trinity will be here by then,and that would take care of everything,cause with a little tweaking it would be great.I was accused of having nitrous by the Vette guys.Felt GOOD!

Thanks Mike!! Bud Lum

Am I going to be able to use the Trinity on my car that was tuned there?I guess I've lost my original back up.I don't know. Can you give me a little info about that.

Thanks again Bud Lum
