So, in the private N54 Drag Race group we were recently discussing transmissions and how currently the obvious front runners are the 4l80 and TH400 for a couple reasons, but the primary one being the options for trans brakes - which for those of you not familiar with them or who haven't spent much time at the drag strip, are pretty key to building proper boost at the line before launching. On these newer transmissions, its often accomplished by "fooling" the trans into engaging both reverse and a forward gear at the same time. The biggest standout case of this is the new domestic autos like the 10 speed in the S550 mustang's etc... I'll avoid too much talk about mustang's and domestics before I scare people away, but the major key point here is that these transmissions function in much the same way as the ZF6 transmissions but are much newer.
As such I've taken it upon myself to publicly ask the xHP guys about looking into implementing this, or offering up the information on how to implement it if need be, with the help of some other enthusiasts who are regulars on the FB groups. I think they obviously would be the most likely to be able to accomplish this considering what's required.
My apologies to those of you who aren't Facebook users and as such can't use the link below, but I'd ask if you could message xHP and express your interest/support if you would be interested but dont have FB.
For the rest of you, my initial FB post can be found HERE! I'm debating starting an online petition depending on how this turns out, others interest but most importantly xHP's response. It seems like a few other people have asked them in the past with no response but seeing as they're a relatively small crew who's very consistently busy, and taking into consideration the time it took to get other certain, common trans tuning things (increased line pressures didn't come until ver 2.1, WOT rev limits and shift speed are both only a few months old) implemented I think they sometimes just need to see the amount of interest in something before bothering to implement it.
