Stall shifting sucks..
Just got a tune after the install of my 3600 stall and i am not very impressed. When the car is in drive and you get on it, the rpms go up and then they feel like they level off before it shifts and kinda does the same thing in second but not as bad. It only does this when the car is in drive and not when manually shifting. Could this be the tune or is my tranny on its way out?

You get used to it. My car goes 3000rpms (shift) 2900rpms... speed still increasing... (shift) 2800 rpms.... around 42mph now (shift 4th) 2750 rpms.... lol
4400 stall. The rpms might not go down but your relative speed per rpm DOES go up. It's just how stalled cars drive. When it locks up (54 mph in my case) rpm drops to actual... so it's all good.

I don't mean the rpms aren't dropping enough that's not what feels odd its when you get on it in first it almost feels like it shifts early cuz right before it shifts it seems like it loses all the torque and then shifts

Alright guess I'll have to give him a call I might just have to wait until my cam goes in so I wont have to pay for additional dyno time though. Thanks for all the responses!!!

Are you in D (3rd) or OD (4th)
3rd is what you need to leave it in until you get enough speed to need 4th
I had a 228r with a custom built 3000 stall and that bitch was nasty and it was running on a ******* mail order tune. I had head work and shift kit with all the other goodies too as well

A stalled auto isnt suposed to have the same shift firmness as stock TC. It feels more like a easy shift. Before I put my stall in and got a tune I had the line pressure jacked up and the tires would bark but come to find out my "NEW" tuner told me thats no good. To much line pressure is not good for the trans and fully deleting torque managment is no good either. So I wouldnt go messing with the line pressure or deleting TM because your upset theres no tire chirp.

I'm not upset about the tire chip that doesn't matter to me I just don't think the 1-2 shift is right. I know the firmness won't be as firm as stock. I just don't think the shift is right. Its kinda hard to explain when I'm in drive and take off from a stop and accelerate hard the car rpms jump like there supposed to but it reaches a point where it feels like quits pulling. (So when I take off I'm back in my seat and then right before it shifts I'm not back in my seat.) Then the car will be like this for a second and then shift. I'm just not sure if its tuning or not. This only happens when I do it in drive not when I manually shift.
