Car feels great! Power and torque are definitely STRONG. I broke traction getting on an on ramp at 45mph in 4th gear last night and the stock iDrive Sport Displays for hp & torque maxed out (max range is 320 for each). Way faster all around, and super smooth delivery.

AA didn't really designate a "stage" number for my map, but I'm guessing it's basically a stage 2. Cat delete for c/l downpipe, cold start delete, burble, 91oct (Cali living

...no fmic...yet. Haha. Waiting on an E30 map.

Did you get the E30 map done yet? Excited to hear!,,,

Yes. Have been running it for a few weeks now. Have tried 4, 4.5, and 4.6 gals of E85 per fill up. No issues, other than quite literally needing to replace my rear tires!

Just logging some data to send to Nic for any tweaking that might need to be done. It is stupid fast, purely butt dyno, but I'm also hoping to get on a dyno soon and maybe hit the local track for some official 1/4mi ETs.

Well I see two maps I will be requesting! Ethanol and 93 octane! Keep up the logs guys these are great times for the development of this tune. Glad I was patient.

Well hopefully this Saturday I can put on the FMIC and Springs and have the 3.5bar map sensor and tune uploaded on Friday. The DV valve upgrade gives me shivers!

Guys
I'm confused.

Having the AA stage 1 flash for about 2 years, I just additionally flashed the 8HP with xHP Stage 2 a few days ago.

Even when xHP config is set to use 2nd gear from a standstill in Comfort/Sport mode, the car seems to always drive off in 1st gear.
(Dashboard also displays 1st gear (D1) when in standstill. )

So I flashed xHP back to "stock" just keeping the gear info the dashboard.
Even then, D1 is shown in standstill Comfort mode.

So now I am confused and wondering, if AA tune has an impact on that?!
I didn't pay any attention to that before the xHP flash.
Does AA flash use gear 1 even in Comfort mode?

Cheers

(by the way, I'm very pleased with the AA tune so far.)

Is this when the transmission is set to normal D or when the lever is pushed to the left into S/M mode?

In Comfort Mode and normal D.

Just flashed the xHP with the option to show the gear in use in the Dashboard (so showing i.e. "D1" instead of just "D")

I also recognized, that when I'm in standstill comfort mode and D, and I then shift from "comfort" to "sport" mode, that the car moves a bit into brakes.
Just like, when it would shift into a lower gear. Display also shows "D1" then when in sport mode (which is as expected).

I will try to find out, at what speed/rpm the first shifting happens when starting at standstill "D1" in comfort mode.
Either in total 6 or 7 shifting points to end. Will see. Plain counting

Just thought someone would no right away if AA flash always takes first gear from standstill even in comfort D.

An email to Nic at AA should get you a definitive answer.

Sounds a lot like my tune with DME Tuning, before it started to pull timing (probably could have held it if I ran E15). Felt like a monster at any speed, yet super cool and composed. On the highway, the car felt like an asteroid, effortlessly gliding, with ZERO resistance - just with the tip of the toe. Unfortunately, after reflashing the car never felt the same, and I was never convinced I being given the same map I had originally - perhaps DME Tuning tuned it down, in fear of liability. I think AA tune may be different because it addresses part-throttle and valve timing, which is how they achieve such enhancements in daily driving.

I've had an AA tune for several years, stage 1 then stage 2. Installed before bootmod3 and mhd became so popular. No issues whatsoever and no real reason to change.

Yeah but there is no reason to do all of that as someone buying a new tune with better more customizable options available...
