Default A-4

hey trans gurus, i have a 94 -z 355 that makes 330 hp at the tires and a a-4 with a b&m shift kit, and a b&m 2400 stall in it,ive had the tune done by solomon at pcm tuning and have never really had an idea about how to tune the trans with the shift kit, the car shifts well hits hard and chirps em in2nd all the time,the pressure table for max pressure is set at 120, and ive basicly set the shift mod pressure to add about 30-40 psi more up to about 37%,as the temp goes up my shifts get a little softer is this aproblem? the trans has been in the car 4 years and the fluid looks like the day i put it in,im useing cats to tune with i change it every 4 months, i also manually shift her often at 5600-5800 ,am i asking for trouble?and are there any tuning tips for my set up?i just got a yank 3000 to put in this spring, will this effect, my set up as well?

from what ive heard if you have a shift kit installed its best to leave the pressure tables alone. i left mine alone because of this.

I have been doing some reading on this topic lately and found that most people say either a shift kit or PCM tuning, never both unless you really know what you are doing.
