How are you guys disabling the DTC's for the transbrake on the '13+ cars, I'm being told the switches arent in the SCT software for those PCM codes(WYN3, DWP3, XYH1, YGK1)

I have the WYN3 PCM and Lund was able to do mine and I am tuned thru a xcal3


What rpm does the converter normally footbrake to?


3,800 rpm it starts pushing thru the brakes
On t-brake I have held it at 4,800 several times with zero issues and I am making over 470rwhp n/a

Mine is WYN3 also and I have been told by 2 different very reputable tuners that the switches for P0962 and P0748 are not in the calibration. Driving me nuts.

Don't use the 3 relay version. As I've said since the beginning, you don't need to raise the line pressure.

I was planning on using the 2 relay version and after talking to someone who has done it they said they did not disable the DTC's and got no codes. I was unaware you did not need to adjust the tune with the 2 relay version.

It's been posted before. You will need to set engine stall speed higher in the tune so the car doesn't go into failsafe mode with either version of the tbrake. As mentioned earlier, if you have a converter and accompanying tune it shouldn't be an issue.

I was at the track this Friday and saw your car there but had no idea who's it was. I would have stopped by and had a chat if I had known. My car wasn't there but was helping with a 10.5 car.

I don't see the tbrake doing much running a stock converter. Also, didn't sound like you had a 2 step. Your current setup really works no better than just footbraking.

You will see good gains by going to a two step and a non-stock converter with the tbrake where you can flat foot launch the car with some boost built up.

Yeah it was my car and the TT Candy red one trying the Transbrakes on stock converter. I think this is the best im going to do until I get a converter or get some cooler weather.

You won't get much more than that with the stock converter.
