Tuning A6 Launch Control - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Duke · 12-16-2010, 12:07 PM

When I do the A6 launch control (competition mode, apply brake, quick full throttle), the rpms go to about 1300 and hold. Can this be tuned to a higher rpm?

Also, what is happening here. Is it programmed at 1300 rpm because that is close to the stall of the stock converter? Or are the clutches actually disengaged, and then they engage when the brake is released? If it is the later, then the rpm could be raised to 2000-3000?

Probably would grenade the transmission, but there should be some happy medium here.

Your RPMs should be around 3300-3500 when using launch control. Duh, you said A6. My bad.

auto cars dont have launch control,, you are just feeling the stall of the torque converter ,, if you want it higher you need to buy a stall converter

Uh, wrong.

Actually, I was going to add that while doing the A6 launch control, that I didn't really feel any brake pressure like the car wanted to move. So, I'm inclined to think the clutches are disengaged.

This thread is about tuning, not aftermarket torque converters. It is also not a debate that the A6 has launch cotrol, it does. I posted this question on HP tuners forum and no response there either, not yet anyway.

The A6 has NO launch control. You can put it in "sport" mode but that's about it. Your 1300 rpm's is the limit if the stock converter. The only way to foot brake stall the car to a higher rpm is change converters. No response on the HP site because that option doesn't exist. If it did, I would have saved the money I spent on my TC.

If you are in gear the clutches are applied. The convertor is the item in your trans that dictates what rpm it flashes to.

here ya go the interwebz is your friend

There is a launch control on the A6, you tap the TC button twice, then put foot on brake and in one motion go to the floor with the gas and the RPM wil stop at 1300 just like a two step module would do with out the stutter.

Duke · 12-16-2010, 04:14 PM

Thanks DCCCTX. Finally someone who has actually tried it.

There are a few guys in here that don't have a clue about what they are saying.

I just tried what the 1 post guy said and when you tap the button twice all you get is the stabiltrak message saying you r and in competitive mode. Then I brought the r's up to 1300, then 1400, the 1500, then I had a smoke show. So I really don't think there is a launch mode. No need to say people don't have a clue we are just trying to help.

Cowjazz manual launch control holds at 4500 rpm

Duke · 12-16-2010, 04:42 PM

Try again, this time push the accelarator pedal to the floor in one quick stroke.
