Best option for 2018 M550 trans flash

Formula94 · 11-23-2020, 01:23 AM

I'm a bit confused looking a XHP as I don't see support for G30 M550. Are there other alternatives?
I'm stage 2 and pushing around 730 ft-lbs of tq at the wheels. Best time currently isb11.08, but that was with shifting around 5500-5750 rpm. They don't shows she's got more in her, just need to get rid of the torque limiters.

Evolve flashed my 3rd ecu EGS with more holding power or set limit higher after I asked about options a month after my stage 1 tune.

Yep, just gave it a go...it definitely launches harder, but it is only 42 degrees here, so the PS4S tires aren't too sticky. Still able to get 3.22 0-60. Need to try again tomorrow when it is daytime and pavement is warmer.
DME Tuning Stage 2 and XHP Stage 3 with drag mode.

How can you tell if you are limited by the gearbox TCU? What is the main symptom?

There aren't, really, but if you aren't tuned, it's distinctly possible you aren't. Chief differences are the lack of torque limitation per gear, as well as faster shifts (and more aggressive ones, if you set it that way).

Would it be the same as the 7 series?

Yes. But I wouldnt suggest running drag mode for longer period as it will reduce clutch (vandler) life if driving daily.

I appreciate the reply. Thank you. Would you happen to know where it would fall under? I check for the 7 but it shows it not supported.
