Tunning issue or bad 4l60e??
i recently finished doing a small simple h/c/i in my 98 ls1 z28. 243 heads/ls6 cam all suporting bolt ons no stall.it is untuned.when the car was stock when i would floor it it would shift perfect.now that i did the h/c/i i took it to the track only to have my rev limiter bouncing.it shifts perfect under normal driving but when you floor it it does not shift..any ideas?
I know its h/c/i but its nothing big thats why i assume the tune is not that bad.
Any input is appriciated thanks in advance.

Is it doing that in all gears or only certain ones?
Is the trans stock or modded? Do you race in Overdrive/4th or put it in D/3rd?
I have seen cars where MAF tuning caused the trans to slip at WOT. If you are racing in D/3rd and it's only flaring on the 2-3 shift, a Sonax HD 2-3 shift valve installed in the transmission valvebody will help (or at least it did on mine).
If it is hitting the limiter in all gears at WOT I would be inclined to look harder at the tune before assuming the transmission is bad.

Check your WOT TPS -voltage-. Over 4.75V will be a
short-term fault and short-shift you. But it would not
shift late, it would shift early.
"Bouncing off the limiter" like whup-whup-whup-shift
is just a matter of stretcing the RPM across the converter
and waiting for MPH to catch up - a simple tuning issue,
any more power or vehicle weight can make that happen.
Staying stuck in the limiter with no upshift ever, that's
something else. Ought not to happen just by hardware
swapping.
Which is it? Or did you lift too soon to know?
