Was the baseline 100% stock?

I'm only asking because I noticed that it revved out to 7200ish, so I figured it at least had some sort of tune

Great results either way

The baseline was 100% stock. I noticed that as well.... not quite sure why that is.

Sometime, I have seen the chart be off by a couple hundred RPM...

Maybe thats what we are seeing here?

i dont know how to read the charts to well... but does the graph show that you are loosing some lowend or are your pulls with the tune the two highest ones? just asking

Hopefully everything goes good and ill be in one by the end of the summer

Blue is HP/TQ before. Red is after. It didn't lose any power.

93 octane?

Yes.

Nice any track runs in this one?

 

[Steedman07]

Nice solid gains on the whole curve!!!

It's making 40hp less then the stick? Is that normal?

 

[timfoster405]

what gear were you in? 4th gear is not 1:1 on the auto... in fact, there is no 1:1 ratio in the trans...

 

[beefcake]

i would still guess 4th, as close as your gonna get

Flywheel VS Rear Wheel Horse Power.

Seems about right to me. An A6 Camaro typically always makes around 30 less RWHP than a manual. The auto car had about the same amount of miles as this one when first baselined. After a hard break-in, the manual car picked up 16 RWHP. This is also typical, as our G8 GXP picked up 20 RWHP between new (less than 50 miles) and 1,500 miles with no changes.

what gear were you in? 4th gear is not 1:1 on the auto... in fact, there is no 1:1 ratio in the trans...

We used 4th gear in the auto car, 5th in the manual car. You are correct, there is no 1:1 in an auto, but 4th is closest.

Can the loss of HP in an Auto be overcome with the right tune ?

Only as long as you're comparing a tuned auto against a stock manual. But once that manual gets tuned, all bets are off.
