Default Fellow Level 10 Stage 3s...

Did you guys have any issues with your upgraded TC not working optimally with the GIAC tip chip? The archive is inconclusive. Only found VegasS4 I think who took him tip chip out for better results. My TC is installed and all seems a good fit without apparent oil leaks. However, the gears seem to be shifting sluggishly. I'm sure Mike@WMS will figure it out.

Default i have tried every combo out there when concerning the tcu.....

AWE has a L10 car and are working on some software but i and other feel that a custom tcu program will be needed to fully exploit the L10 hardware and make it as smooth as possible

Default I heard GIAC tip chip + least aggressive recode is fine

00012 I think it is.

Default I just changed from 00032 to 00002. At 98K, I think the tip likes it better this way.

No tip chip, though. Just stage I, but I do still think about getting one, even at 97K...

Default Mine seems to work fine at the moment..However...

My setup is a bit different. We modified the L10 TC to actually work. (made by 3zero3 in Denver), Full stage 3, Tip Chip and the rest of the trans is stock with 00032. (and works great)(112,000 miles on the trans. Car has been modified most of it's life)

Default I think BLK01S4 has a tip chip with his level 10. I will hopefully be getting mine back

Next week. I will have the tip chip in, so I will post my impressions as well.. Please keep us updated.

What about no recode? Would it be suggested to do a recode once my car is done getting level 10?

Default The tip chip doesn't speed up the shift at all . . . it merely decreases the lag time from when you

hit the stalk to when the transmission actually shifts. It will be fine with the level10 upgrade.
