    2018 Camaro zl1 tuning

    Hey guys

    I have a 2018 zl1 camaro in for exhaust upgrades and tuning, I haven't tuned an LT4 with the 10 speed yet.
    Unfortunately i live overseas so the TCM locking procedure is a bit of a long process, and was wondering if
    tuning the ECU without touching the TCM is an option? Or with these being a torque based system both need to
    be tuned together to get optimum results?
    What issues would i run into, tuning only the engine ecu?
    Thanks in advance

    so far on my 2017 a10 flex tune I am seeing a drop in how it is shifting. light loads it has gotten worse sort of draggy on light load shifts. Wot its not a quick either. So off the tcm goes to get done. As it was I didnt like how it was shifting stock and now worse with a tune in progress.

    tcm tune won't fix the e85 slow shifts, you need to fix your torque model.

    I had read that the e85 model will be off. I liked it over and looked low but so do the normal ones so wasn’t sure if should start by throwing 20 percent at it or not. Is there a way to log anything to make changes on it? Car is lazy has hell on the small e mix more at part throttle then wot stuff but that is down too.
    Thanks Higgs I know you spent tons of time on your own c7 so sure you have it figure out as read up a lot on your stuff.
