Default is it slipping?

I really have no idea if it is slipping so i am going to describe what exactly i am experiencing. just as a side not i have a ported and descreened MAF..i do not want to start the ongoing feud of a ported maf and decreasing line pressure. these are just things to keep in mind that might come into play. k here it goes. say i am driving and the car is warmed up i begin to break as i enter a turn around to head in the other direction. as i role through the turn at around 17mph+ around i hit the gas pretty good but not enough for it to kick the trans down as i am accelerating i slowly begin to take my foot off the gas before it shifts and this is what happens.....the revs bounce around a little bit in 500rpm increments for just a second then shifts...is it sliping or i am foling the comouter to make it think that i was going to keep my foot on the gas?? any recommendations would be great!
thanks J

Sounds like slippage to me, Check your trans fluid, hot engine running in neutral. Is it full? What color is it, What does it smell like.

yah burnt trans fluid smells like ***.

best time to flush is when you do shiftkit/verters since you've lost 99% of the fluid by then.

but datalog some runs rpm VS MPH vs TCC etc with efilive or atap and show us the slippage.

Would show up quick in a efilive log

It's a way keep your mind off the problem.

Anyway. Since you don't have a scanner run it up to shift points in 2nd and then 3rd. If it hits the rev limiter, in either gear, it's slipping
