RPI R1 tune installed on 07 auto RL
went down to RPI on friday and had my auto RL reflased with RPI's tune.
first one on automatic. eloy wanted to see if any problems arose with ECM communicating with auto's TCM. some fears it might go in limp mode.
RPI's tuner was there and he and dale did the reflash. they had absolutely no problems! after the reflash - dyno'd. about 30whp increase. (eloy has the scans and will posts - eloy?)
i believe they reworked the torque limiters, redline limiter and AFR tables.
(not sure if they redid the cooling fan tables - but it now runs cooler! (192-194 instead of 195-199!!)
having the torque limiters redone realy improves torque at low-end (1st-3rd gearing) and steady on the top end.. seems like it frees up and delivers torque VERY easily and quickly.
after i took it for a spin around the block i notice i was able to break the tires loose with trc/esc on and in 'd'. (before i had to turn off trc/esc (comp mode) and use 'l' or 'i' on the tranny.)
feels like another car - havent had at wot yet. but car feels like it lifts up for takeoff when boost is applied!!!
alittle more scarier when boosting at 80mph since now i get to > 100mph in nothing.
will need stickier tires soon since it's too way to easy to break looose.
love it! and car is running better (and cooler) than before.
eloy - thanks - well worth it!!!!
later

p.s. i have a new 07 RL ECM i was going to use - might sell. (got it off GMparts.com for $380.) decided not to go through the hassle.
