Sorry I should have been more specific. It's an easy fix if you lower the shift point a small bit . But that doesn't help the guys that want to stay stock and not tune their car . I'm use to working with tuned cars .

I thought to lower the shift points requires re writing shift tables. I may be completely wrong but it is not as simple as changing one number in a single field. And I thought there were multiple tables, like 13 or something. So you have to know what tables the car will use at WOT etc.........This is why I was paying a Tuner. Mike@OST.

Remember as @Phast Hemi pointed out you can tune the TCM without unlocking since it is not locked. And as far as I can tell lowering the shift points will not require a coordinated change to the PCM tuning like Raising them would.

All that being said, you only heve 2 options with a stock 19 Redeye. First thing I would do right on the spot is reset PCM and TCM adaptives and then make another couple passes and see how it does. It can be done with HPTuners and a security gateway bypass or : see below. The second thing to do if you are already on a good tire with an agressive tire pressure setting, is get a different race track (better prep).

Just so you know, doing a capacitive discharge (reset all adaptives) on my Demon in January had a DRAMATIC effect on the performance of the car. Eliminated the Hiccup and the converter seemed to lock a lot harder.

Correct. The TCM can be tuned by just buying credits and yes there is more then 1 table that needs to adjusted so you need to know where to adjust. Frenchcat tried resting the adaptives twice with no luck but we didn't reset the Tcm as time was running out . That is the next thing is to reset the Tcm adaptives and Pcm adaptives and do a relearn and try it again as he does not want to tune the car .
On a tuned car it is an easy fix .

You don’t need 15’s....
I agree I could get to my goal without 15s but I really like the config so will see next season what it does.

I reset engine and transmission adaptative in the middle of that day. After that reset, I have made maybe 6 or 7 pass without any improvements. But just to make us in context, I currently run the Incognito lower pulley since 7 weeks and with that good DA, PCM don't like it, it just can not adapt to this big contribution of air. Seen in my data logs just before hiccup almost 3 times bigger than desired in g/s. So, I will remove the Incognito before to get track this weekend.

Did you notice the cooling lines torn up.
