    Too Weird!

    This trans stuff is too weird. The trans shifts 2-3 at different speeds every time. I get flare and PCS line pressure seems to drop with rpm? Take a look at frames 10303 and 11097 (2 wot blips).

    Built FLT transmission 4L65e

    What the heck is going on?

    Crap, something is definately wrong and I (hopefully) believe it is the torque converter. My mpg is way down, it doesn't feel like it's locking strong and today, while going up a long hill it seemed the TC was surging ~200rpm. It feels sluggish as hell off the line at partial throttle.

    Is there a better config I can run to help me solve this problem? I am no tuner but am trying hard to solve and correct this on my own and could really use some experienced advise.

    anybody?

    this is what I'm talking about, although not as extreme as what I experienced yesterday. Is 148 rpm tcc slip normaol when the tcc is locked? See that almost rythmic surging?

    Post your stock tune. What were the stock tire sizes? What is all done to the trans? Brand & stage of the shift kit, was a Corvette servo installed?

    Any mods to the engine?

    I'll let Trever1t chime in but had to chuckle a bit with your well founded questions Russ.

    Trever went 11.60's last weekend at the track. The general answer to your questions would be everything has been done to the trans and engine.

    lol, yeah, pretty much a fully built FLT level 5 with sonnax servo, I believe they use the Transgo HD2 shift kit. I'm pretty sure the converter lock-up clutches are gone, my rpms will increase 400rpm while my speed stays constant under a load.

    The engine itself is stock with the exception of the LPE GT2-3 cam.

    The logs from the track (with the converter set to not lock at all WOT) show clean sharp shifts if not just a little early. I did run an [email protected] this last saturday.

    I'll post a stock tune from the repository when i get home, stock tire size was 265/70 17
