Tune, but only really love it in SPORT modes?

[Warhead]

Just curious, I absolutely love my Steeda tune in SPORT and TRACK modes, but in regular drive it is fine until I push it...and then the shifts have extra hang time if that makes sense, when I'm at heavy throttle. Daily driving without flooring it is not an issue, just spur of the moment needing to step on it and those shifts being weak and slow in standard mode.

Even just throwing it into SPORT mode and not dialing in anything further, it is fantastic and very predictable with a real authority about it.

I'm just wishing even in standard mode it would shift more firm when pushed, but not willing to go back to the BAMA tune which by comparison just gets it all wrong in either mode (live and learn).

O.k.??

So the gist of my post is curious if others experience tunes rockin' out in one regard, but not being optimum in another mode. Input is welcome, but taking the time to give input by not giving input totally up to you.

Have you contacted Steeda about having the shifting tweaked in normal mode or is the Steeda tune a canned tune?

Yes, no real input yet. Not a canned tune, based on existing mods etc.

It's a shift issue under that one, particular circumstance which is slow and soft.

I have a tune + custom tune and I always run in Sport mode.

Also, it is my understanding that an auto transmission tune is fully separate from an engine tune.

I have a steeda tune and to get any decent performance out of the car in city driving i have to use sport mode. it shifts way to early under anything less than full throttle and shifts very rough under low to mid throttle. im pretty much stuck using the paddle shifters in S mode all the time as the engine braking gets old fast.

I have a Steeda Tune (Euro Mustang) and Normal mode is just fine.
I also bought a Lund tune, also very nice, but Steeda gives noticeably more torque at low RPM.

Here's my Dyno results after steeda tune.

That is a dramatic increase in low end grunt, and area under the curve.

Lund tune here. Sport mode is the same as normal mode. Lol

Very nice. Again I love the tune, even in normal mode it is fine but it's only when I hit hard throttle in normal mode that the shifts are long and soft.

It literally blows my Bama tune out of the water in every regard, in fact the Bama issue was the opposite in that daily driving was a pain as the shifts were far too early and it was annoyingly jerky when I did not want it to be.

So when you hit normal mode with heavy throttle, say a regular passing situation, are the shifts noticeably soft?

I wish my base GT had an option for Sport mode...

Mine is a manual, soft shifts depend mainly on driver's skill

I think that is just an extra charge to use your tuner. My understanding is that everyone else provides a transmission tune with the normal tune. This tuner even provides a transmission tune:
