2012 Vette 6l80 tune in older trans for faster tap up tap down and rev matching

[RD in SD]

I have an 06 Vette T43 with an A6 and about 500 RWHP. I use the car for road racing and the shift delay is killing me. A while back I did a full flash of a tune out of an 08 to get the rev matching feature which worked for the 3-2 downshift and 2-1 downshift but not the other 3 shifts.

However it is nothing like the rev matching in each gear that I get with my 2011 CTSV which works perfectly with minimal delay. In fact I suspect my 2011 CTSV has the new calibration GM is bragging about for the 2012 Vette that eliminates the delay.

Now in 2012 the new Vette as most of you know has the new calibration that significantly reduces shift times (according to GM eliminates it) in tap up tap down mode. It also incorporates the true accurate rev matching like in my CTSV. I would love to get my hands on a 2012 Vette A6 tune and try it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Does anyone have a tune I could try? I was going to play around with my CTSV tune but I sold the car last week and forgot to download the tune before I sold it.

Since last time I upgraded from an 06 tune to an 08 tune it required a full flash I am assuming this is dangerous to try and have heard that I could ruin my computer. Any opinions on this? I would be willing to be the guinea pig and happy to post my results and the tune if it works. Does the new Vette use the same T43 computer that my 06 has. If not is there an option to upgrade the computer?

A 2012 TCM tune will not work in the older TCM, there is differences that will stop it functioning.

Can the computer be upgraded?

Can the computer be upgraded?

Yes you can pull it and replace it with a 2012 TCM. :)

How do you get to the computer and is it as easy as plug and play with a newer tune in it?

[gmh308]

Remove the pan, unbolt TCM. Well almost. There is a step by step set of instructions on one of the corvette forums.

Not sure what you mean by plug and play though. You mean install and go? :)

"Plug and play" is a common reference in which something is installed and used immediatley, requireing no modifications. "Install and go" would correctly describe "plug and play".

Yes thats right, but last time I looked a TCM wasnt a PC running Windoze. :)

Does anyone have a 2012 or 2013 stock tune for automatic Corvette? Also does anyone know how that newer T43 is going to interact with my 2006 E38 on my Ls2?

[Tre-Cool]

im guessing not very well. even an 08 tune/transmission wouldnt work in my car until i did a full flash with the original tcm tune.

I would like to restart this thread. Has anyone attempted this upgrade yet with a new T43 TCM and tune in an older car like my 06 Vette? Also does anyone have an A6 tune from 12 or 13 Corvette I can't find one on the tune file depot. If anyone has any information about how or why this might or might not work I would be willing to be a guinea pig. I have read in a couple of places that this just might work but not one has attempted it yet that I know of.

the newer TCM tune you can use and that maybe can work is a 2011 tune, 2012 and up will not work with 07-08 E38, well at least i have tried with 07 and 08 E38, and 2011 will work, 2012 up wont,

400ss do you have a 2011 Vette TCM tune or do you know where I can get one?

I have a 2008 tune in it now, did GM make many changes to improve things in 2011 over 2008. On thing I would like to have is no downshifting into 1st while in drive. My car has low gears, big cam and built transmission and the 2-1 downshift is never fun. Also is there anyway to delay the rev matching to match the shift. My car revs and then shifts a bit later. Making the rev matching rev higher would be cool too.

im not sure if a can post an address to another website , if it isnt possible please delete, just want to help this person, you can go to www.6l80tuning.com go to the forums and open a new thread, wacker will help you out, tell them the problems you are having and what you want

[RD in SD]

400ss, Wacker is my tuner and he posted up on his forum looking for a tune for a 2011. So far nothing yet so if anyone out there has a tune for a 2011 Corvette it would be most helpful. Also what happens when you try a 2012 tune does it screw up the TCM or does it just not shift or what are the symptoms and did you try a full flash?

[400ss]

With Tech2 it will complete the tune and then it will restart and again and again and it will never finish,, then you have to reflash the correct year tune on it to fix the TCM if you are lucky... when i need a tune file i dont have, go to Ebay, search for a A6 corvette, on the descrition there is the VIN number, you can flash with tech2 that VIN on your TCM and changue the VIN to the same on your car

[RD in SD]

Hmm, I have put a few different tunes in my 06 but never had to go though that. They were tunes I got form the Tune File Depot but I just use EFI live not the Tech 2.
