Tires are evil and must be destroyed...

just used v8 to flash in my original trans os & cal. all good now.

tyres are ready to be destroyed.

Good to hear mate

I bet you were a bit worried at first

not really, it worked in drive and sports mode which meant i could atleast drive it to work.

thought i'd report back after a week or so with the new gearbox and everything is going well. in fact 3 days after fitting i took the car to the drags to see what the new engine combo would do and ran 2 x 11.5's with some missed 2nd to 3rd shifts. adjusted shift points and then proceeded to do 2 x 11.2's both at 129mph.

All on my 20" rims and Achilles ATR Sports ala el cheapo tyres

Very cool, launching in 2nd?! Ha first in the six speeds is too steep I guess?

In the bottom video you got jumped, but then just blow past him a few seconds later.

Hi Erik,

Actually the 6L80/90 gear ratios are more closely spaced than the 4L80E and 4L60E...

the gap from 1st to 2nd seems to be widely spaced, but when you do the math you will see it is not.



Oh, you said steep... maybe... it can be used more effectively with sticky tires.

yeah on street tyres any decent launch is just out of the question, that's why i use 2nd and feed the throttle in.

good enough for 2.0 60's.

in fact the logs show i dont go full throttle till i reach 70kph and about 5000rpm.
