Our TCM calibration is optimized for best performance right out of the box. There is no reason to change anything.

You only need a laptop one time to install it. With over 900 A6 tunes out there we kinda have this nailed.

I'm not saying you didn't nail it. I said I chose ease of operation over a TCM tune. And I highly doubt you'll never have to use a laptop again. I'm not a tuner but I've gone into mine at least 6 times since I installed it. And all for good reasons. So if you could guarantee your customers that they would get the most optimal HP out of your tune then that's great. But to say it's a one time hookup and then never again will you want to get into it.....,well I hghly doubt it.

not me ... I'll surely have it *ucked up... I'll leave that to the pros. To each his own.

When purchasing the Vector tune will they customize it to your needs? For example, for the AFM, can it be on in "D" and off in "M", or only on in 5th and 6th gear? Or can the shift firmness be normal in "D" and firm in "M"?

I am working with a pro. But you still have to get into the program to load the info. Especially when your in one place and he's in another.

Kirk, do you have a ballpark ETA on a tune for the V6?

We send out a Stage 1 & 2 TCM calibration to everyone. We can fine tune either one if needed. We have the ability to adjust shift times, torque management & shift pressure by gear and shift mode. I do not see that in a handheld. We also have calibrations for most every CAI or header out there. Every one of them had a different MAF & PE calibration.
Our customers rarely need to change the calibration, but if they do we have a full function scanner included with the software.

On a different note, I agree, there is no Black Sabbath without Ozzy!

Yes, we can remove AFM by gear. We can also adjust shift feel and torque management by shift mode.
