JMR76 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm no expert on transmission learning, but I swear after a little over a month, 700 miles, my SHO got a little lazy with the tune. The temps are near the same, unfortunately because of this never ending winter, but all of a sudden earlier this week, it seemed to get a little lazy accelerating. It wasn't near as slow as Stock, but it did seem to let off a little on its all out power. I remember when I first put this in, after the adjustment period, driving around 30-35 mph and flooring it, the vehicle would downshift and spin tire, then shift and spin again. Now it just downshifts and sometimes doesn't seem as aggressive. I don't have any missing or hesitation and nothing to indicate a problem. I started to drive a little more aggressive at times the last few days and it seems to be getting more aggressive again. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this or if anyone re-flashes their tune before going to the track. Maybe I'm being too picky. It's not a huge difference but I can tell there is some difference in acceleration than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brcrane14 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I noticed that in my Jeep SRT8 after a few months with the tune, but just associated it with me "getting used" to the power. Now you are making me curious if a reflash needed every now and again. Looking forward to what others have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's just the cars adaptive learning, I know if I drive my car moderately. It performs the same way, but it does quickly adapt when I decide to drive aggressively. Usually takes 3 good romps for me and then car is good to go.

steve142857 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I purchased the demo with 5 k miles on it and the previous owner (the dealer's president) is 75 yo... Man the car was sluggish. After a few days, I really could feel the difference... I never reflashed the car... As crash said a few WOTs and the car understands who is the boss and cooperates.

JMR76 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks, Took it out and WOT a few times. Seems to be getting back to original tune aggressiveness. I must just drive like a grandma too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
