Car wont shift out of 1st at WOT
Shift settings are set at 45 in 1st gear I have to let off in order to get it to shift. I have a stock 4l60e shift kit 4:10 gears drop in and a tuner.

45mph in 1st gear with a 4L60E, that tire size, and 4.10s would put you around 7,500 RPM, so no I would not expect it to shift. You need to drop your shift MPH setting to something closer to 33-35mph and then tune using RPMs.

I suggest something around 34mph, and 5900 rpms.. Also bump up shift pressure "make it firm" not too much, but with a converter, i have found that you need to have alittle more pressure build up, to make it shift earlier.
hope it helps Also make sure your part throttle/W0T shifts match at 100%..

I use Hp tuners, I have never seen or used a handheld, like that, but if the shift tables dont match, you will not shift, I hope that helps, at the least take it to a shop that can tune it for you, if your lost...
