    2015 A8 Vette File

    At the Memphis Motorsports park ran 11.85 118.4 with a 1.82 60 in 1500DA STOCK, plan to run 11.5-6 in better air STOCK. THEN come the mods.

    The Driver demand tables, look WAY DIFFERENT than the 14's. These values are throwing me off compared to the 14 values which made sense to me.

    Very minor differences in the spark tables, MAF is the same, small changes in the fueling tables. Can't wait to see TCM data on the 8 speed!
    Also, don't know why the ECU says DOD is disabled (works fine)??

    That a great time! 60' is awfully good for a 2.41 differential. Even with the 4.55 first gear you still have about the same gearing as and LS3 with the 2.73. With my LS3 when stock I don't think I could get better than a 1.90 in a much lower da. Is 8th gear even useable? My 2.73 with the .67 was pretty weak. Can't imagine even taller gearing.

    It does look weird and the reason for that is because GM now uses axle torque instead of engine torque in some applications...

    Here's an A8 Z51 file, mostly the same except for the DD tables...

    The large valued DD tables are only used in the auto models. The manual is like the 2014.

    That's because the speed limiter is not controlled from the calibration. Set the speed limiter source switch to calibration and then you will definitely have a 135 MPH limiter.

    What is the limit then? What controls limit in GMLAN?

    In the case of the Corvette I do not believe there is a limit. The body control module sets the limit when the configuration is set to GMLAN. I believe this was done so that dealers can configure the speed limiter on the cars depending on the tire size option the owner chooses. The dealers do not have the ability to modify the ECM calibration but they can set options in the BCM.

    The BCM then controls the limiter in GMLAN. Now I know why the 2014 truck would only go 98 mph with a GMLAN setting of 135 mph.

    There is a limiter somewhere, because I hit one at 190 on the dyno today... I can't imagine trying to dyno one of these things in 6th gear with the 2.41 gears, with the 2.73's it hit 186 at the top of 6th...
