Is that something they all do? My 3.0TT sometimes feels like 3rd is a little lazy. Hard to describe. It shifts to 3rd firmly, but then RPMs seem to lag a little and not increment in the same linear manner as other gears. The CVT analogy seems to be descriptive of what it does. I thought there might be something wrong with my transmission (or programming), but seeing this comment makes me think it's not just me.
I have no idea if it's normal, but there's at least 2 of us that it happens to so maybe it is? The sound is really amplified with the downpipe, drives me nuts.
That sounds like your torque converter is locking up after the upshift, causing the engine speed to decrease without an upshift.
Will have to look if that is a parameter that Pi Toolbox can see or just make a scanner log and look into it.
We can eliminate the upshift pops by disabling transmission torque management, but I wouldn't recommend that for a daily driver.
They need to be sent in to be unlocked initially. Once that's done, we can do all the tuning and data scanning via the OBD2 port.
We've done a bunch of Global B tunes now. They don't set any codes when tuned properly.
I’ll pass it along thank you
This is all opinion here but it comes from an educated place. I've had two LT4 powered cars so far, and with all the forged internals and engineering that goes on I cannot see an issue with 800+ WHP. When you get to the 1000hp club, I'd imagine a lot would have to be changed but I am happy for someone to tell me it'll hold that no problem.
should have stated this is for the 4BW

Thanks that is exactly what I wanted to hear. I’m definitely going with Scott at tapout when the time comes to mod this beast. Very reassuring that they are over built like the Camaros and hellcats to handle a lot more power. Gotta say I’m very impressed with the ct4 bw abilities and they sound really good with downpipes for a v6.This thread should give you an idea of what they can do: Tapout Tuned CT4-V Blackwing Hits Nines!

We are fortunate enough to have CT5-V Blackwing drivelines in our CT4-V Blackwings. Those cars come from the factory with 200 more horsepower, and our OEM parts are holding up without issue. Could you elaborate on this? Clutch and transmissions are the same in the 4BW and 5BW?
Lt4’s can handle 1000hp no problem when tuned correctly.
