Default How hard does your Tuned auto A6 shift?

I got my auto A6 tuned and its insane. Manny tuned it to a great Jekyll and Hide balance. Normal throttle it's like stock except second and third shifts a little harder. Same for the downshifts. But full throttle is a beast....second gear will put me sideways on Nitto 295s when pulling out an angle. Damn soft Nitto sidewalls! Straight line their sticky though. So I was wondering how hard do some of you tuned A6 shift? Different people have different preferences , but I asked for my car to be tuned with balance and its spot on. I might get it tweaked again after a week or so. I feel like I'm driving a brand new car...The extra TQ and aggressive shifts are incredible

With my Brenspeed tune it's very easy to chirp the tires to 2nd & 3rd and the shifts are much more solid into all gears. Downshifts are firm, also. Going into 2nd in a turn will give a good shove to the side and the shift points are slightly elevated.

Chirping of the tires or anything like that is fun but not fast The key is to have faster shifts not necessarily harsher shifts. Going sideways means you're not going forward! Lockup timing of the converter and shift points are very important too.

Agreed on all points which is why I refrained from using 'harsher' as it does not apply in my case, but some people might describe it that way. With my car, the 'sideways' feeling is a body-on-suspension feeling opposed to a wheel on pavement sensation.
