Can someone explain the below and how it works? This would be very helpful information to all people using this software and tuning in general for these transmissions.
Just so you all know, I just bought a 2016 Mustang GT which will be heavily modified as a father and son project within the next year, but also a project for all of us here within this website to promote self tuning but to also promote HP Tuners. First, I plan on tuning this car from NA stock, then to NA bolt-on's (CAI, Headers, no cats, GT350 intake and 67mm TB, Stall, etc), then NA bolt-ons with Nitrous, and then to end with forced induction (Twin Turbos), all of which will be documented and shared freely to better educate all of us here. I figured before adding HP to the car, to start with the transmission first, see the performance changes with the tranny alone before adding HP. I have already read many threads, made many changes to the transmission tune based on suggestions within this forum which I have already seen gains with a simple stock motor, but I cannot finalize this until I understand more about what these settings do so the tune can be finalized and result published within. Anyhow, hopefully I can get some help from all of you here so we can all benefit. Thanks!!
