another question on handheld programmers??

[laserred]

I have an automatic transmission and was wondering if I could use the programmer to make the tranny shift firmer only and not use if for the engine?

 

[ironmedic]

go get a shift kit for your tranny

i dont know if B&M makes one for it but u can check!

The Diablo Predator will not allow you to modify the transmission settings without installing their performance tune.

What about the hypertech programmer?

What about the hypertech programmer?

I believe the Hypertech will let you change the automatic transmission shift points and firmness, while leaving the ignition timing and air / fuel at factory values (you may wish to verify this).

However, I would choose the Predator for more features and versatility. After all, you own a V8 Mustang so I would go after this mild engine performance tuning as well.

I have the Hypertech but I have the 5 speed. It does have the option to change the shift points and the firmness but that is all I can tell you since I have never used that option. It does give you step by step instructions on how to change the shift points if that helps any.

should I get a custom tune for my car since I have the diablo predator. My signature has my mods. The tune are 100.00 for a lifetime of tunes.

A custom tune will give you a few horse, but not many on a NA application. It will more help with limiters, shifts, timing, and O2's
