more line pressure? video inside
i dont like how the rpms jump up right as it is going to shift. the car never did this until i got the tune after my cam swap. i know the line pressure was bumped up on the previous tune before the cam, but i think the tuner actually ended up lowering line pressure. let me know what you guys think. thanks in advance.

Poor line pressure rise can indeed contribute to flare shifting. You need to get a gauge on your tranny and run it the same while observing line pressure in order to verify that the line pressure is indeed the issue.
I do not advocate running factory EPC's in high performance application for the very reason that a Tuner can knock out a transmission because of inexperience. It's really easy for a Tuner to just turn a blind eye to line pressure management and simply say that your transmission is failing after a significant mod like a converter or a heads/cam swap.
I prefer to see vacuum modulators in any 60e that has a high stall converter or engine mods. The line pressure rise is very linear, and it's the same regardless of what the Tuner does. It becomes immune to a Tuner who has no clue how to manage line pressure.
If you continue to drive your car at WOT with those flare shifts you'll knock out the 3/4 clutches in no time. You might want to have a different Tuner take a look at it for you.

I have a performabuilt lvl 2 and a yank pt4000.
The thing shifts perfect with my tune and stock pressure. There is a whole bunch of other stuff to tune for. Mine drove like **** on the stock trans tune. If you had efilive or something you could copy my tune.
