Tune/rev hang

[McSwine]

How effective are any of the available tunes at helping to mitigate the gawdawful rev hang? Is one in particular better than the others? I've also read that tuning out the rev hang can have some disadvantages as well...can anyone elaborate? Thanks.

If you disable rev hang the car will be harder to drive smoothly since the car will not artificially hold the revs for you. You will need to relearn the car on slow shifting.

I would imagine anyone complaining about rev hang would be willing...

So if I disable rev hang I will have to shift SLOWER? That's why I wanted to disable rev hang to begin with. I don't need the car to hold revs for me, I capable of determining the correct shift/throttle combination myself.

No you will actually have to shift faster. Since on slow shifts it will drop faster since its not holding it for you.

Adjust your shifts (faster) for slow/casual driving when you’re not revving it high. In general, you want to keep this car around 2500 rpms or more. Base your shift timing on this and you should be able to largely avoid “jerking” per another thread on this topic.

Got it y'all, thanks. I'm still conflicted on whether or not to tune an essentially brand new car (although I've done it before without issue).

I’m going to tune mine. Too much left on the table to not take some . I would be happy with mid 300’s to the wheel for track duty.

I know this is an old thread but just wanted to share my experience. The stock tune holds revs when shifting above 4K. You never really notice until you start spirited driving. I have the TSP Stage 1+ tune which disables rev hang but tunes the throttle in a way that it is really smooth when shifting fast. Don’t really have anything negative to say about it because it makes high RPM shifting a lot better and don’t really notice a big difference with normal driving. That being said, the revs still fall slowly naturally because even though the car has a single mass flywheel, it’s still pretty heavy at 19lbs. Hope this helps.
