I went to the Kennandale (That's not an import friendly place) with the E85 tune. Went into LIMP MODE every single launch while the monitor displayed the Transmission Overheat sign. I shifted at 5-6k RPM's each time, but the car would still stay 1st gear and run all the way up to 9k RPM's each time. The torque just jumps so fast now it never shifts to 2nd gear on a launch. I thought about trying to launch at and shift at 4k RPM's to see if it would catch and shift to 2nd gear at around 6k RPM's but I got kicked off the track from holding up the line multiple times. I even tried launching at 3k RPM's in sport/auto and still went into Transmission Overheat/LIMP MODE
Anyone on E85 have this issue with the SST Tranny???? On 93 Octane it shifted perfectly and didn't climb the rpm's so fast and hard. I tried some launches on the pavement off the drag strip and the launches were solid, but on the strip the tranny just pooped on me.

Definitely get a cooler then if you plan to continue dragging.
