I have some general questions about how a Lightning shifts both stock and with a chip.

Stock.

Does a stock L drop 4 cylinders every shift even at WOT and at slow acceleration?

Chip.

Does a Lightning with a chip always use all 8 cylinders during a shift regardless of the amount of throttle applied?

Thanks

Yes & Yes.

 

Is it harder on the transmission to use all 8 cyls. during shifts? If it is not than why did the SVT team program it that way? If it is harder, does it shorten the transmission life? Just wondering because I am thinking about chipping.

 

thought it only dumped 4 on the 1/2 shift at WOT not tru?

 

Why not drop two cylinders during shifts or do like me and other people and turn the shift dump off.

 

Not if the chip leaves the Torque Reduction on.
