[@opusinnovation4611]

As there were some questions on that matter: What you might think / what you hear being a slipping clutch when changing gears at higher speeds, is actually not the case here. While, 1st of all, the engine- and transmission-control units are still running a forced adaption during the next few hundred kms after the reflash, the most important thing is, that the engine torque and power are limited by a not fully opened throttle body, additionally limiting the maximum boost in the intake and causing a bit of an "overboost" building up before the throttle, making the gear changes at higher speeds sometimes a bit more sluggy during the learning process than you might expect. It has nothing to do with the tune. The torque reduction / shift strategy combined with the boost control also through the throttle body limitation is just completely different on this model than on any other AMG GT / GT S / GT R... Additionally, AMG is already working on refining the base-software and so are we, also in order to further improve the shifting "quality". Here are 2 examples of this already happening on a bone stock car mainly from 5th to 6th kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3ycZqaNiN2qppo and kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3-roX6YpM6GetU . For comparison you can also check out Gercollector's Vid of his GT BS with the same tune / setup / power after full adaption : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGikZ5mgat2cZsU

@Opus Innovation, would you have the ability to utilize Xentry to run the transmission through adaptation right away post TCU tune?

This was probably the most needed for an exhaust that I have seen in some time. It's finally complete. It's finally the full thoroughbred beast that it should have been all along.

[@BattaMarwan]

Hey Tim, congrats on the upgrades. One thing that concerns me when you hit the autobahn is what sounds like clutch slipping going from 5-6 and 6-7. @21:07 You can hear the rev jump and the shift indicator come on for a brief second. This is somewhat typical when the ECU gets re-mapped and the TCU doesn't. At this type of power level, additional pressure is required on the clutch packs to ensure the power holds from gear to gear. I am quite surprised OPUS never took care of that. Please let me know if you notice that also. Cheers.

[@jamarmayers220]

heard the slips as well. I thought it was just me...Tim will definitely notice it if we did.

[@hovnojede010101]

I would've definitely turned around and driven back to the shop. Big slippage

[@jo05dk]

I heard the same thing. Sure sounds like they didn't finish the work.

[@VallaMC]

It could have also been a slight road imperfection. The road looks bumpy and the suspensions look stiff. Even Tim keeps jumping in the car. Given the speed he was doing, that might very well be the reason why the engine revved that way. Imo.

[@dtm979]

I heard it too, but thought it may be the cold cup2’s and so much torque. That and the brief look on Tims face as it looked like he was trying to fight for traction.

[@nathanfyfe1169]

I think the craziest thing for me has been growing up through the 90's and watching things like Wangan Midnight and Option video knowing just how hard you had to push to get to 200mph and seeing cars from the show room floor be comfortable and break 200mph. That's insane.
