Back to tuning options! I have an 07 STR with Mina pulley, Mina cat-back exhaust, & Caldoofy intake tube with K&N drop in. I Emailed a few companies on tuning and thought I had a deal set with Eurocharged. They were supposed to mail me a tool to plug in my ECU and read it. Mail it back to them. They tweak the tune and mail it back to me to plug back in my car. Then when I called them back to "rent" the tool needed the guy I talked to the second time told me that's not an option for the STR? So now I'm confused. And have called and emailed Eurocharged several times since with no answer or response back. Super frustrating!

Thread revival. I am doing some aftermarket product testing on my STR and trying to get some good baseline dyno numbers on a dynopack. I set it up with DSC off, sport mode on and in 4th gear and the trans keeps kicking down. Anyway to disable this? I know BMWs that use the same transmission don't have this problem.

Am not exactly sure where the shift point is, could be around 3600 rpm, after that you do not have any kickdowns anymore. So rev it up to 3600 already with some load, and only then floor it, which gives you a usable area from 4000 to 6300 rpm.

Bring it up to about 4,000rpm before punching it. If you go WOT early, as in, well under 4,200rpm, it will kick down into 3rd. Your dyno operator is probably not getting it up to speed enough before hitting it.
