As the title suggests who’s the best tuner that provides a track tune? My car currently has a drag tune by Pureboost.de and I wanna look further in getting a conservative tune on the track. Thanks ! (I know the search button is a thing but I couldn’t find anything about “track tune” .

Idk why people give Rod so much credit. Maybe on the older 6 speeds and early zf8’s but I’ve never had any luck with his trans tune. He ghosted me the moment I told him about the issues with the tune.

manual shifting was ass. There was a huge delay especially vs xHP and you can see it in the logs.

in the first screen shot, you’ll see that the transmission request to shift took place, but continued to climb in RPM. In the second screen shot, it instantly shifts.

Not a Corvette.

This seems like a theme with most track guys that use him. You are probably the fifth person I have heard to state this.

FWIW I had my transmission tuned by him for track use and had no issues. He was responsive via email and did a few updates based on my feedback and always responded quickly.

Personally I think the XHP tunes are a little better for street use (there's a bit more of a delay on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts with Rod's tune) but otherwise Rod's tune did what I wanted on track, which was prevent hard shifts from shocking the drive train. And I don't have a delay under WOT, the shifts are essentially instant in Manual mode.

Either MHD or Ecutek is something I’m looking at. Before I bought this car it was used for drag racing so still in the unknown for this platform. I just started tracking this year so I added aero.
