I was going to ask the same thing, but then I realized these new guys don't want to LEARN how to do it - they just want a free tune. I'm sure if I had a thread giving away free tunes all day they would be lining up for that. Like kenny's tune thread a few weeks back.

Yes Shake, they demand "the best of the best".
Lazyness. I get a better sense of satisfaction from doing it myself, i like to get pointers but I never want a free tune not of my own making.

I was just wandering the same thing. Have you asked a mod to make it sticky? I do believe that is the way to get it stickied.

Done
I never knew you were supposed to request for a stick; I just assumed they stickied them by volume of thread traffic & usefulness to the forums. Once again, thanks fest.

Thats what Im saying. Everyone want a tune not instructions to tune. I guess everyone is from Conneticut and expects everything to be given to them.

Thanks for the stick, guys. 
I'll keep thinking of more transmission methods to post as well.

Thanks everyone. If it wasn't for most of you, I wouldn't have had the drive to tune as many cars as I have. Even thanks to the haters out there because, if I was as "slow" as you say, I wouldn't be hated on as much as I am.

I know lol. Me and him had some pretty close races. Mine still needs more work though. As do most of my cars.

This. You also have to trial & error with the gear ratios to get them set up for correct RPMs. Shift at regular shiftpoints for the powerband, and adjust transmission for last gear crossing the 400m mark & launching gears. It will all come together in time. Keep in mind the top gap in-between the gear lines, on the transmission setup menu, is the RPM drop when shifting. If the gap is too large it will bog the motor and lose acceleration.

I've got a tip for you that I told swara and Nuke that works flawlessly. I'll tell you later.

Depends on the car. If you have one that loses a lot of power before redline, like some muscle cars, I would set transmission to hit 300-500RPM above that at 400m.
On a car like the Enzo, which makes max power at redline, you'll want to run the last gear as close to the rev-limiter as possible on 400m without hitting it.
