    2018 Mustang GT 10R80 tuning in Track Mode

    I have a 2018 Mustang GT that I use for Auto-X. I am trying to see if the transmission tuning can be done for only specific modes.
    I would like to keep the normal and sport modes the same and tune Track mode only (for auto-X). I would like to get it to downshift sooner. Long delay as I have to floor it and wait for the down shift.
    Also I don't know if there is anyway to speed up shifting in response to the paddles, currently there is a long delay.

    Has anyone done this yet?

    Does anyone know of a tuning in Sacramento that has experience with the 2018 Mustang?

    Thanks,

    Ken

    You can't really improve paddle response time - it's still just an automatic, not a DCT.

    You can improve shift timing, change shift schedule and firmness that for sure.

    It did not have to be specifically HP Tuner. What I was trying to find out was
    1) If the HP tuner software could be used to just make changes in the one mode (for transmission). I download the HP tuner demo and could not tell. Still looking for an answer.
    2) Was there a good local tuner. Shaun got back to me and they do not do specialized or customer specific tuning. Still looking to see if I can find someone.

    Thanks,

    Do you know if the HP tuner software can make those changes in just the one mode?

    I know it is an automatic but it can shift fast when it wants too, lol.

    The reaction to the paddle inputs is very slow. I end up going down extra gears because it does not seem like it is responding.

    Hptuners can change one mode, or two, or all it’s infinitely adjustable.
