AFM...Auto/Manual...On or Off?
As I understand it, the LT1 in the Corvette will have AFM (cylinder de-activation) in the auto trans, and (new for this year) in the manual trans as well...
...Was wondering if a driver choice on/off "switch" of some type is going to be on the car that would keep engine in full V-8 mode...Thanks... |
A few sources speculate that putting the car in certain driving modes like Track will reduce how often AFM kicks in.

Or completely disable(?) AFM in Track Mode... time will tell. :clock:
|
I believe I've read somewhere that Track will completely disable AFM. CAGS remains another story? I'd expect someone will come up with a hack in relatively short order for both the skip-shift and cylinder de-activation if desired. In one of his interviews, Tadge notes that a torque converter automatic transmission played really well with AFM. Or something to that effect.
If it really is as transparent as they claim, I'm fine with the system in Eco mode or Wimp mode or whatever they want to call it. 26 average mpg doesn't like a bad deal as long as all the ponies are available IMMEDIATELY if in Sport or Track mode. |
CAGS may actually be disabled if Track mode if a true Track mode.
I believe it has to meet a set of parameters, RPM, speed, gear, etc... to engage. Take the gas mileage the drone won't be bad when you're at 1500 RPM's in 7th gear at 70MPH. |

Once we crack the code to the ECM, as many guys in the corvette world will want that off like the Camaro guys. It will be more interesting how its done in the manual mode.

It is not as easy as someone ripped off GM's security seed as the E38,E40 E67 or even older 0411 PCMs It now requires the PCM to act like a node client and pass security to a remote GM server for controller software updates and all this about how easy and how everyone is going to just start throwing mods at C7 it are in for a rude surprise. |

I could see it being difficult, does it turn off during a gear switch or rev match? Does it only turn off on downshifts, not upshifts, etc... |
