Yes that's a big advantage.Aha! Now that's a real advantage! Getting the connectors and knowing how to install them is magic for a project like this.
That is a known base tune issue. I'm drawing a blank on the details but if you call DSC they have an updated tune. Or if I remember correctly, you bump the range of lower end of the shock range 100ma. Also, turning up the g-comfort setting helps.Anyone give me a hand?
I've got Ford Performance springs and Eibach Sways....the current DSC Sport firmware makes the car bouncy. I have yet to take the car on track.
In both comfort and sport, the ride feels floaty over undulations and road imperfections. The car does not have that planted feeling. For example going over a dip at speed, the compression is delayed and the rebound not damped enough. It feels like it needs less compression damping and more rebound.
Does anyone have a stable program they can send me to try?
Thanks
No, I called and talked to Tom and he told me about the issue. I would send send the one he sent me but I can't find it in my email.So did you simply download the new file from their website?
Any way you can send me your pdt file?
Did you ever get your question answered? I am going through the testing/tuning myself. I can detune the G Comfort stuff, but the bounce is still there. Much reduced, but still there.@Chillindrdude
Did you get your issue resolved? I just installed a DSC controller with the file dated 2-12-20 on their site and am having the same issue. I have not reached out to the company yet.

I also found that all 3 levels on the DSC tuner are the same. Waiting on a call from Tom to help understand what's going on there.
Thanks. I'd like to see them if possible. Another forum on this site? Or different forum altogether? I can search it out if it's posted here somewhere.Download the tune from the controller and check what they are (unless you've done that and verified they're the same) - you can always upload what they have available on the website but they're not good at all. I saw they were working on something new for GT500 (the maps on their website are exactly the same for every model currently).
However - I've posted on another forum my review of maps made by a forum member here. I may repost it when I have time and he may chime in.

I've been a lurker for a while but finally getting into tuning.
Thanks again.
I never reached out. I installed R springs & struts/shocks then loaded the R file. It rode great until the controller failed.Did you ever get your question answered?

Man I would appreciate it. It took me two weeks of every free minute to get a decent "normal" tune that doesn't float like a 90's caddy (Part of the problem was/is my neanderthal brain and computers). I still have to do some work in the speed tables (And I found a leaking shock that now needs replacement) but when I installed, the thing was near undriveable down the highway. Once I got on the track and the car got out of the G Comfort table the ride was decent, but the G Comfort settings screw everything up.Different site - I am not sure what the rules are here for linking to threads on other sites but when I have some time tomorrow morning, I'll repost my posts here if anyone's interested. I've ran DSC since mid-year.

Just my opinion, but the G Comfort settings are useless. If I wanted to cruise, I wouldn't be in Sport or Track mode.
Thanks! I will check with him. I appreciate it. Track event here in two weeks, and I really don't want to swap back to the factory controller if I don't have to.This is the very last post I've made on m6g about it and probably most relevant. Note that you'd have to reach out to Tim to discuss availability of these maps.
I thought I add a quick update - at the end of the season, with fresh tires I was able to get some better clarity on what car is doing and probably drive it closer to the limit than previously.
I almost exclusively used TeeLew's rear-grip biased map for DSC - High (autocross high - so 50mphish sweeper) speed corners - it is bit understeer biased but if entry isn't overcooked, front just slides a bit with rear being very stable - if done right it is easy to get the right amount of slip angle and carry speed in. It makes car super easy to trust going in without being worried of wiping out at the corner entry due to oversteer. Very confidence inspiring.
It sticks so well that you really need to try to get car to oversteer on the exit while hard on the throttle. It works really well and difference compared to stock VDM (with Ford Performance / PP2 tune) is quite substantial (there were few corners earlier this season that I basically drifted out of).
Very happy with it.
