Interesting personality after tune

[Rowland2004]

I've only done 4-5 WOT after fully warmed up and just nervous how hard it shifts but been told its normal and will adjust. I will wait to hear from Livernois tomorrow and let everyone know the results. Thanks again everyone.

True, there is a PCM relearn after the flash. Shouldn't take more than a couple hundred miles for the "feel" to settle in. After that, there's the continuous finetuning based on your driving style. In fact, when people have flashed to a hotter tune at the track, they have reported that the shifts are harder, and it FEELS like the car is faster, but the timeslips are actually slower!

I've been trying to quantify the shift feel and I wouldn't call the 4-5 shift any different from the other gear transitions, except for the below mentioned tire 'chirp'. All gears have the same shift feel, and I have put on about 160 miles, since adding the V10 tune 6 days ago. Many years ago I had a hemi torque-flite with a shift kit in it, powered by a 440 six-pack with a couple of tricks. The SHO shifts like the Dodge did, but I would define it as 'deliberate'. The RPM changes spontaneously without a 'bang' or 'thunk'. Both cars had a 'chirp' of the tires on the 1-2. and sometimes the 2-3 shift, but not on the higher gears. Not sure what you mean by 'hard', but if you get a bang or a thunk, you might want to look at driveline free-play.
