Maybe you got it in Winter mode instead of Sport.

try resetting the transmission. Theres a post on here on how to do that. The adaptive transmission can get lazy very easily...after reset you should notice a big improvement...at least until the transmission adapts back to its old lazy way....

Any of you guys w/ ECU remaps try this? Do you know if it actually keeps any settings adjusted by Powerchip, Kleemann, Renntech, Speedtuning, etc? I wonder if it only adjusts the tranny or if it does the timing and octane also...
