Every V8 Camaro has the NLS feature.

If your RPMs go up between gears, NLS is not working as described.
If you think your RPMs stay the same between gears, try shifting at 6100, use NLS, but don't let the clutch out immediately in the next gear. I'll try to do another test like that today with the PDR.

Yep factory PDR in "track" video overlay mode.

now, can someone with a supercharged (not from factory) test this NLS?

I'd love to if I had better tires. Else the top of third gear is the only option. What is the minimum shift RPM to engage NLS?

All good questions. I have yet to do it. personally I won't do it until someone else who has been tuned by HP tuners IE: Maggie. Sounds kinda selfish but............

no, i'd expect that in a normal car, if i took it out of gear with my foot on the gas, the RPMs would jump to redline in about .5 seconds. NLS is supposed to prevent this.

The first and only time I tried it, it didn't seem to work as RPM's instantly hit rev limiter and it also made a very bad drivetrain clunking noise and jerked me around a bit. Not exactly giving me any motivation to try this "ghost feature" again.

Wouldn't it be nice if GM actually produced a clear and concise description of this "feature" and how to use it so that we could stop having these threads pop up every other week?

I'm with you. Maybe forego the shift and instead just perform a test where you quickly depress the clutch at full throttle and see if the RPMs climb or hold? If they climb simply let off the gas. You could even discover the minimum RPM more easily with this method.

You go first.

Here you go!

Tested this in sport mode, full throttle to redline, NLS and shift to 2nd and kept the clutch in. As you can see if does the NLS fart and drops the RPMs to where they should be for 2nd gear, then held there until I released the clutch a second later. Throttle at 100% the whole time.

I was being snarky, your video looked like everything was working as intended.

Do you have to shift above 6k rpm to engage the NLS?

I think I've done it just shy of 6k but I would aim to be above 6k just to be sure.

Not so sure about the RPM drop in a standard SS now that I am drag racing with NLS shifting @6,350 or 6,550 (shift light set rpm to keep under the limiter) depending on the tune but a momentary hesitation after the shift makes think some timing was rolled back. Has anyone logged NLS?

So far NLS is not faster than my own shifting ET wise. But I do seem to be more consistent.

Awesome thanks so much!

Can you test minimum engagement RPM? I remember seeing this somewhere in HP tuners, and I remember it set at 5100 or 5300RPM?
