Is tuning a 4L60E the same no matter what vehicle it's in??

Are all 4L60E's the same tuning wise? I'd think that tuning one in a Trail/'Voy/9-7x would be the same as in an F-body.

Yes.

I assume you are less than impressed with the spongy shift in the Trail/'Voy/9-7x? Not to mention it takes forever to go from 1st to second gear at wide open throttle....

i can 2nd that, the less impressed part ...

Ill 3rd it, man it lags horribly with the pedal to the floor, like 2ish seconds!! Talk about forever, sheesh GM.

1->2 is a big gear ratio change. GM does not want you to spill your coffee latte during that morning commute

[S2H]

are there any parameters that could be added..so we can spill our coffee

or at a minimum cause others to spill their coffe as they get scared by the quick response and sudden loud volume of our performance machine..LOL

As you can see in my signature, I daily drive a 97 Eddie Bauer Explorer with the 5 speed automatic and if I keep it at 1/3 - 1/2 throttle, it bangs shifts smoothly at 3000 rpm and the tach just sits there. Every time I drive my wife's 9-7x, the 1-2 shift takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r and I find myself modulating the gas peddle to try and get smoother acceleration but it doesn't help.

What I have also found to be annoying is the damn electric throttle body. It's like 1-2 second delay after I push on the gas before it actually responds and accelerates, can HP Tuners change that? I'm guessing it's similar to the 'vettes with their electric throttle bodies.

I'm going to be purchasing HP Tuners in the upcoming weeks/month and just want to get up to speed on what I can and can't do with it.

Hey Brian, I was actually toying a bit with your tune last night to see whats up...those I6's are confusing as hell, they have no maf, multiple VE tables, multiple timing tables + add in the variable valve timing tables...it all gets confusing to even me to be honest. As far as your shifting goes there are probably 10-15 tq managment tables at your finger tips...I can only assume thats a large part of it...if you want to stop by one day I can get a tune partially put together that we can try out if you'd like...Im currently out of work with the state shut down so maybe tomorrow if the weathers clear if you wanted to come down to trenton I could throw something in. Give me a hollar & I'll give you my address.

Hey Bill,

Give me a call, either at work or on the cell phone. I'll PM them to you.

I find if you smooth and play with the Shift Speed vs. TPS vs. Shift tables (NORMAL, PERFORMANCE, CRUISE and HOT) you can get better shifting.

...but remember, on the shift speed, dont go below 0.150, because the pcm will get confused.

I wonder if thats the same with a 4T40E and a 4cyl....
