madz28 tune i went with a madz28 tune. i like the tune but i had him adjust the shift firmness and i think its a little over the top i get on it a little on the hard side and the damn tires start chirping. Any one else have this problem with his tune.

i didnt think they would be spinning the tires through the gears i was expecting faster shifts. i dont have the best tires in the world so it might be a contributing factor. when i go into a turn and it shifts the tires start spinning. i think thats what really bothers me the most.
ill run it for a little while and see how i like it in a few months if i dont like it ill have him reprogram it.

get some tires, that will help out a lot and you may feel different about switching things up. Look out for a used set of something sticky if your on a budget.

Your wording (perhaps not intentional) makes it sound like it is his fault (which sounds to me like he did what you asked). What I would have had him do is change the performance shift tables and left the normal tables alone. That way you can put in a switch and change to the hard shifting stuff when you want it and switch back to normal when you don't. This only works on 94-95 PCMs. Firebirds came with the performance shift switch, but Camaros didn't. The PCMs were the same, so the switch can be added to the Camaro.

I agree^^^ you kinda got what you asked for.. next time just say I don't want the nuts on the car to be "too big."
And Sumitomo tires aren't known for "grip" they are know for a good price.. Just take it easier around turns...

i went around a conner in the rain last night after making this post and the car shifted and the rear broke loose and i wasnt even accelerating i get it the tires arent great but to me it seems like very hard shift points.
wasn't really an option of like well i want x amount of psi there wasnt much description. this is what there is a list of options and and on says shift points and then it says not recommended to be used in conjunction with a shift kit.
im not a tunner so i have no idea. maybe there is only two setting for tranny psi. i think the shifts can be pretty hard and yes like i stated there crappy tires.
maybe the problem isnt in his tune maybe its some where else and that's why i asked the question. i would definitely use him again or recommend him. i just would recommend increasing the shift firmness to freinds.
