Those who have tuned 224/230's in here.

Okay. Finally got my LT1 Edit to work. Car is an A4, Yank 3200 stall, and currently has the stock 3:23 gears. So far we've messed around a little with it. I have the 1-2 shift at 6k and the 2-3 similar, I forget exactly where. Rev limiter is at 6200. This is all experimental right now.

Right now I'm looking for pointers on how to set this up a little better, and would also like to see where the majority of people have this cam set at mainly in A4 cars. I know this has become a popular cam and they are pretty easily tuneable at this point. So let me know what you guys think.

Also, in between the 1-2 shift, it feels like it's hitting the rev limiter then barking into gear as it should. The transmission has never done this untill the tune, even with the stall, so before you go and tell me I need a rebuild, the trans has no more than 10k on it if that. So I know this is in the tune. Any ideas on that?

As cheap as everyone is doing the over the net "load yourself" tuning I would go with that. Both Madz28 and ourselves offer a simular service that will get you going cheaply and for less money than if you where to buy a mail order tune.


If the services that are out there now where out there 7 years ago when I started off in this mess I probally would have never invested so much time in tuning and instead become a famous guitar player or artist or something..

It needs more than 200 rpm to shift.
