Default TC Disabled & Shifting Problems

Gents,

I just installed my stroker 402 in my 06 GTO and now experiencing a couple of very disturbing issues:

1.) Dash Indicator shows that the "Traction Control" is disabled. I depress to T/C button on the console without a change in state.

2.) Under other than WOT the transmisssion shifts normally. However, @ WOT the transmisson does not engage 1st to 2nd or 3rd to 4th. My transmission tune is programmed for 6200 rpm shifts, but the instead shifting into 2nd or 4th my new engine FREE-WINDS!!!! Totally scaring the $hit out of me!!

I did replace my MAP sensor, because my tuner told it was throwing a code. And had a local parts store clear the code and CEL. After approximately 25 miles the CEL has not come back on, but the aforementioned symptoms have not changed.

Cam spec 233/239 598/603 @ 112 and additonal engine mods are in my signature.

As always, I appricate your time to share your knowledge.

If it is truly WOT-only flare, have a look at the commanded
force motor current. Stock tunes I see 90mA, but there are
some where the 96-100% line% column has a full blowoff
value while lower is sensible. People who go and raise the
max line% limit field thinking they will get more pressure,
can end up with way less. Then forget holding any gear.

Worth checking before you get into buying kits and stuff.

Many thanks for your thoughts. I will confer with my tuner.
