its been tuned previously at 21st century muscle cars, it acutally shifted harder with the stock tranny in it. it shift fine now dont get me wrong it just shifter harder before hand. will see about retuning it to see if the quick shifting can be fixed.

A higher stall is gonna absorb more of that "shift" feeling compared to a stock converter where you feel it more.

How do you like your trans by FLT?

Tuning could fix your "shifting early" problem..and converter lock-up speed.
