4L80E not shifting as hard as it used to
I recently got my 5.3/4L80E 411 PCM swap running in my 88 Mustang and I am tuning it with EFI Live. I rebuilt the trans and put a HD2 shift kit in it. I have put about 500 miles on it and have noticed it does not shift as hard as it did when I first got it running. Is this because the PCM is "learning" and do I need to work on the shifting tune of the transmission?

I have done some digging into this and found the the adaptive shift have been turned off. I also put a pressure gauge on it, in park it makes about 70 PSI and in in OD it makes 190-225 PSI.
Any suggestions??

It should dip and recover on the shift. If it has pressure in 1st of say 200 psi, but it drops to 170 after the 1-2 shift, you have a leak on the intermediate circuit. If it holds the pressures throughout the range, you are good.
