Tap Shift Anteater w/Display - Beta Testers Needed

Howdy.

We were keeping the tap shift Anteater a secret until we had the alpha testing feedback complete but now it's time to assemble a beta tester team. If you're running an Anteater currently and would like to beta the paddle setup, please use the forum email button to send me an email. Include the following details:

1. Vehicle and engine.
2. 47 or 48?
3. Valvebody make (and model, if known).
4. Demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively.

Spots are very limited and general public release is slated for July/August, depending on beta feedback.
 
Omg I need this lol was about to pull the trigger on an anteater but maybe I’ll wait now. Unless you want to send me both for trial?? Haha
 
I need your fisical a-dress joefarmer. So I can send in my resumme

Well dangit !... Wish this would have happened before I sold my Anteater. Might not have let it go.
 
My question (and it may be a stupid one) would be could you run the anteater itself, for say bracket racing (say you have it set up to run consistent 7.7x or 6.7x passes) but then with the flip of a switch be able to run tap shift for a full power pass?

Tentatively speaking, it will appear as Auto Tune 1, Auto Tune 2, Manual Mode. So yes.

This will have 3 tunes in Auto mode, and a single button press to switch to manual mode that can be wired to any two momentary buttons or paddles for tap shifting or another feature to wire into your OEM 6.7L tap shift buttons, there are some other really nice features in the beta version that i'll let Brandon share when he's ready.

Sounds like a nice setup... we'll have to do an article on it...

Better that that. The up/down buttons are live and will put the trans in manual mode if it's in automatic mode.

For instance, you're cruising around town in your '64 in automatic mode, in tune 3 in 3rd gear. You drive beside some oraler and decide he needs a beat down. Press shift down, the trans immediately shifts from 3 to 2 and is now in manual shift mode, second gear. It holds 2nd until you put the taillights to the oraler and either press an up/down shift button in manual mode or press the auto/manual button and the controller shifts back to the gear assigned in your tune file for the TPS/MPH combo. It's actually seamless between modes and can switch between the two at any time.

Another case would be you're in Commifornia and an officer has just pulled out behind you. You hit the auto/manual mode button and the truck stays in the gear commanded and won't accidentally lug, smoke and have your truck impounded.

You get the best of both worlds, FMVB and automatic.

As a side note, if your cruising along some backroads and your child happens to drop an object at the test shifter buttons laying on the seat, the trans will shift from auto 3 to manual 2 and leave you very confused until you see your child giggling from his car seat.
 
Will it make the down shift with the converter locked? Say from od locked to 3rd locked. Or will that take internal Vb mods
