    Make sure you save a copy of the stock tune in a manner you can't change it! So incase you ever need it for whatever reason. I have a read only copy and burned a copy to disk.

    Be careful with the Transmission. I only suggest you change the sift times and speeds if you want.

    Here is a quote from DSTECK from another forum for Caddys:

    Don't touch oncoming/offgoing pressure or volume unless you're having a shift issue.

    Believe it or not, changing shift times does the most. The TCM is actually really good at calculating what has to happen to hit that shift time.

    And here is a quote from Keith @ KDInnovations:

    If you are having transmission issues adjust volume for flares and pressure for holding while in gear under load.

    I somewhat disagree with the oncoming/offgoing clutches etc, I think its fine to follow factory upgrades depending on what they change........ eg. comparing a later model of the same cars stock tune.

    Dear PGA2B and IDRIVEAG8GT recently I friend of mine acquired a STS-V. The car is bone stock and want to know if you can give some tips or advices so we can some adjustments to car. If you can attach a file you would make it a lot easier.

    Thanks

    I loaded my last tune from the car to the repository.

    Compare it to a stock file and you'll see the differences.

    I already search in the tune repository, but I have one doubt the tune that you uploaded says that is a bone stock tune from an 06 STS-V.
    Is this correct or is a modded tune?

    Looks like they haven't released it yet. Just keep checking back. I have no control over that.
