Back on topic, I have not even had a chance to play with my AE or Speed tracer other than to connect it to put in the enhancement code... I need to get gauges in and also reseal the front axle and upgrade the brake caliper pins as they are sticking, new brake pads and fix the ESOF got all the parts sitting on the bench now just need a weekend or two of decent weather to do the work... then I can start playing with the tunes.
One thing I want to change on the shifting is when its on cruise at say 40mph and it goes to accelerate to maintain speed the rpms jump from like 1500 to 2100 then starts to speed up. so i am thinking of just locking up the TC in 3rd gear.
I saw there is a setting for Cruise Control Accel Edit its rate not speed and there is also an accel offset. not sure what that does but i might try changing the rate from 2mph to 1mph and see if that lightens up the throttle response to maintain speed speed and mine says 2mph so I think that means it will allow 2mph drop below set speed before accelerating to maintain speed.. Does anyone know which setting(s) controls how much throttle % it will use initially or maximum to try and maintain the set cruise speed? if i could lower the % of throttle response in the Cruise Control it would probably help reduce the rpm surge and the 3-2 downshifting.....
I love cruise control and use it all the time thats why it annoys me so much when its constantly surging and slowing to stay at the set speed
