I have hopefully resolved that but haven't been able to test at the track. Im determined to get there this season still.
But on the A8s it was said a trans tune could be worth .2-.4 et in the 1/4 mi at least with forced induction. It sounds like its not as helpful on the A10s, but still worth a tenth or two?
When stock, i could feel the torque mgmt kicking in even during the burnout.

Guess I'll find out soon enough about the A10 dude thanks for the info

Press traction control button twice (in sport mode). Press the brake pedal really hard with left foot. Press the gas pedal WOT 100%. Engine revs to 2k approx and the engine chops some cilynders, release the brake pedal and you're flying.

Interesting, I'll have to try that on the street thanks

Before this I had run some 12.0s at 114 (1.83~1.85 60') with the bone stock car on the stock runflats in the weeks preceding this run. So for me, I only gained around a tenth from the DR and the (now I know worthless) air filter on the otherwise-stock car.
No question the stock TCM hampers performance of an SS/LT1. For my 2017 T87a, once tuning became an option from HPT, cost was 200 to unlock plus 200 for the credits. That's worth it IMO if you're tuning the ecm anyway and therefore already giving up the warranty. Not sure what the HPT price is on a T93 like you have, but honestly the trans tune helped my car a lot, and I'm talking bolt-on level as well as power adder. Example, with just 17" rear DRs (no skinnies), flex fuel ecm and tcm tuning, the aforementioned worthless air filter, a useless v-max ptb, and a driveshaft loop (extra safety but did add ~6lbs) I ran 11.3@119 with a 1.64 short time.

Well shit, those are pretty good times

Yeah that's what I thought. I didn't think it would be better than all nannies off and drag pack
