Minor adjustments and temperature trends Cadillac STS-V

Making more room for fast revving at gear changes:

  • Raised Cutoff by 200 rpm: Engine Fuel Cutoff DFCO Cutoff vs RPM
  • Raised cam disable by 300 rpm: Engine Airflow Variable Camshaft Hi RPM Disable
  • Lowered Transmission torque management by 50% at WOT — Transmission Torque Management — Adder Modifier -0.50 at RPM 4500

1-2 Shift max rpm 6529 (target 30 mph / 6500 rpm)

Resulting shift 1-2 took 0.3sec then 0.4s on 2nd test. Need to retest cold due to the engine making more power cold.

Temperature trends hot / heatsoaked versus cold:

Interesting consistency that IAT2 uniformly starts ~30F and ends ~40F hotter than IAT1 regardless of ambient.  This suggests a way to check effectiveness of changes to the intercooler cooling system.  Other runs show a end range of 40-47F.
