We actually have lots of guys with big power launching in 2nd as we just can't hook these cars in 1st.

Is launching in second a tune thing or can you do it manually by putting it in second and then slapping it over to auto after launching? I'll be going to the track with a forged 416 and a Huron Speed twin turbo kit making well over 1000 and I am pretty sure I am going to need to do this.

Launch in second, slap it into auto and let it go. That's how I've tried it.

Thanks everyone, that is going to be how I try it then when I go because I am sure first will be absolutely useless.

And that is likely why it will randomly short shift on you. There is a narrow window on these transmissions to slap the shifter over into D and not mess with the TCM's shift timing.

I did, he hasn’t tried a 17+.
I did look closer at my tune from back when I tried it and I did not have the part throttle mph’s set to exactly the same as the wot mph’s. I bet that was my problem. If I ever get back to working on my car I will have to give that a try.
