M/T are dinosaurs and disappearing for a reason guys.

As far as modding an A/T, not sure about these newer cars with electronics controlling the shift points. With the old school cars you could install a shift kit or powerball it.

What are you looking for out of the tranny any way?

uprev tuner can change your rev limited, line pressures, etc. of the 7AT.

had mine changed slightly along with my dtno tune and its great.

7 AT 4.08 gears, full bolt ons.
and a cobb tune.
hang on for life in 1 st and 2 nd gears.
get some big tire 305 35 18 mt drag radials.
12.34 @ 114.14 in the 1/4 mile. 1.800. 60 ft times.
not slow and not boring to drive.
just floor it keep it floored and shift with the paddles. ( do not lift when you change gears.)

drag radials are use less in the rain .

I was waiting for @Z Eliminator to chime in. If anyone has exploited the capabilities of the 7at it's this guy.

Just do some research on how much the A/T can handle before you go 400+ hp. Building it up ain't cheap.

And the haters... Will always hate.

You are missing a pedal.

I just had my car at the tuners tuning for the Aquamist meth injection kit and while I was there we spent a lot of time on the 7 AT line pressures. The car now shifts so fast in high RPMs there is no way I could come close in a MT.

Z eliminator · 03-24-2014, 06:52 PM

i would like to see your map that you changed for the torque setting .
I have the GTM map for the my built stage 4 GTM.

thanks

My tune isn't locked but I don't have a UpRev cable to look at it. I will ask my tuner if he will send me it. We only tuned shifts above 4500 so on driving around town you cant tell. I have to imagine your stage 4 shift harder than my stock transmission tuned.

Here we go again, the same MT vs AT ********.

Your car, mod it how you want. no one is gonna laugh at you for driving an AT no one will laugh at you if you mod it correctly. And when i say correctly i mean no lambo doors, no fart cannons, no stupid LEDs, no stupid camber settings, no random stickers/decals.

And definitely no putting the car on neutral on a stop light and pretends to be driving a stick.

It's good for your brakes no matter what transmission you have; if the pads are hot, you don't want to bake them into the rotors in one spot clamping them down at a dead stop.
