If I remember right there are only a few tunes for the 7S5. But will try what I can and go from there.


Thanks Cody.

Just a warning:

Do not mix hex codes on the chip and expect to switch them on the fly.

Thanks Cody.

Yes sir. Probably just a 60, 80, and 100.

Let me know how it goes and maybe, just maybe, I'll build you a modified set of tunes for your Hydra. Depends on my mood.

Thanks for the heads up on mixing. I will keep my fingers crossed.


Thanks again.

Good call. 80DD with the 7S5, shifts feel good up and down. But it acts like the old TC lock ups, only after 40-45 in 4th (OD). And watching my led, it doesn't switch off quickly, sort of flickers off now, when the TC locks. Will be interesting to monitor for a few days.
I have been putting off buying an AE because of money, but thinking it is time? Would it help with this in trying to figure out what to do?

Nothing to figure out (wrong).

Drive it for a while.

Umm... I'm thinking about purchasing a Hydra as well.
