The transmission builder suggested Justin White Tuning so I reached out to him.
Going forward add input and output shaft speeds to your scanner channels and set the polling rate high.
Keep an eye on oncoming pressure and oncoming volume changes. Those tables are what killed your current trans. The bloke you had tuning it is a fucken cunt for doing that to you.
The 6L90 is a very stout unit. I've mentioned this before on here; we've got them over here un-opened, stock converter - running 1/4 mile 9 sec passes in 4500lb Holdens.
I appreciate the response. He's willing to die on the hill that he's the best, he didn't kill anything, but he refunded my money.
Becomes chump change compared to your rebuild cost. Another red flag (amongst many others) was still in closed loop at WOT
Expensive learning curve but you'll come out the other side more knowledgeable.
Edit: How good is that dynamic airflow number haha, should be closer to around the 650 mark for your setup. Flat spark curve too, unreal lol.
I admire your modesty and restraint, but I strongly feel you need to publicly out that cunt. You've got the data to back it up. It's not fair on other people who might choose to engage their services. If we're talking about a fella, his tuning is akin to being infected with aids having countless unprotected sex with underage females.

It's DDTech. I attached a few screenshots, he called me a pussy because i didn't want the car on the ragged edge. Then said that this was the builder's fault.
I know who your working with and has a good reputation but I would post the tune before you go crazy if he would allow it.Originally Posted by radeon1337

Wow. I can't believe this many people trust this guy. I like how he said fueling was safe commanding .83 lambda with boost. That's more N/A figures. Then the trans issues he caused and spinning you too 7500 SBE. That's not to include the VVE tuning, disabled dynamic airflow on a 2bar OS, the timing maps and much more. Reading how he was talking with you is exactly why this guy is a dumb ass.
Like I said I asked about the lean spikes these and zl1 cars have on hptuners Facebook (mistake) and he tried to tell me to get a "real tune" from him and could 100% fix it. Also could give me the best trans tune available. I've been tuning my own stuff for 25 years and have a manual. Like come on dude.

i'm not knowledgeable enough to out him, but you do what you have to do. guy cost me a day of work (dropping it off at the transmission shop), 500 dollars for parts (i wasn't charged for labor) and shipping back was 200.
He got caught out with the built trans. I'm spit-balling that he's thrown what he knows works from a stock unit into yours and not bothered to check back on the trans tune side of the tune. I can only pray you made it clear at the initial contact stage that your trans was built. Because that changes everything.
i absolutely did
Knew it was ddtech just by the ff spark tables and the way the HO spark tables are.
Yeah, I remember that post...told both of us he refused to help and he could fix it but we'd have to pay for a FULL tune. So many guys just absolutely love him for some reason..
take a look at his boost/map during that pull...it's only 58 kpa....he wasn't making any boost but was at WOT...so that's why he wasn't in OL. Not sure why that situation happened thoughBecomes chump change compared to your rebuild cost. Another red flag (amongst many others) was still in closed loop at WOT

The same individual you guys are referring to had good reviews online and was recommended to me by a prominent shop in Alabama. He seems like a good guy, from the interactions I've had with him. I recently paid for a full tune with him and my stock 2013 Silverado with a AFM/DOD/VVT Delete w/BTR Truck Norris cam and still having issues after 3 weeks of back and forth. He says it's mechanical like the cam is defective or something. BTR said that's highly unlikely. I did find out I had a misfire from another member which I believe I fixed, couple coil wires were not clicked in all of the way (must've happened inadvertently when I unplugged at the spark plugs to check torque on the header bolts). Unsure why my tuner wouldn't have noticed any misfires though yet the individual I sent a datalog to did. Do I take the cam out and replace it with something different? I really hate to swap out the cam and throw parts at it when it probably isn't the issue. Do I try a different tuner? I'd really prefer to take it to a shop and skip the remote thing. I offered to drive it to him (5.5 hrs) to tune it but he said that's not necessary because the outcome would be the same. Not sure what to do, but I'll have to make a decision sooner or later. I need my daily driver back!
Look.at this asshole taking shots at me for not wanting my block spinning that high.
It's not the cam. It's a combination of the toon file and installer error. Like most of these turn out to be. No offense I see it all the time. Other "pro" shops bring me cars to tune that are missing on a cylinder or more. Not HPT or LS related but had a pro technician bring me a car to tune that was running on 4 or 5 cylinders. True story.
There are a few guys on here that email tune professionally, myself included. There are also quite a few really smart DIY guys on here.
FWIW I've never heard of DDtech but I don't do FB or any other social media.

If I were you I'd call his ass out...pretty crappy he's doing that.
He was on here years ago asking for help with his atsv throttle closing. Funny he was asking for help, but then when I and Jayrolla asked for help he told us to F*** off...lol.
Who is "he"?
I've seen so many new guys come up, some of them I know for a fact have built entire businesses on ripping off other tuner's work from years ago. I know it doesn't look good as a professional to keep saying a lot of these guys don't know what they're doing or talking about but, a lot of these guys don't know what they're doing or talking about.
I'll add to that a little bit. Some of it is off the shelf, common sense LS stuff. Like your typical LSA doesn't pull to 7500 RPM. Just because you spin it that high doesn't mean it "pulls" that high.
