Transmission Line Pressure Tuning vs. Boost
I want to give a tip to those who tune and are using boost.
Many tuning programs use TPS x Commanded Line Pressure.
Some give the option to use Boost PSI x Commanded Pressure.
If using a boosted combo you need to be aware that the power isn't linear with TPS like a N/A combo, and as such you cannot set line pressure to follow TPS. It either needs to be boost based (in tune or via vacuum modulator) or fixed.
We have a customer who has eaten 3 transmissions with virtually no mileage and after the 2nd time we figured out the tuning issue (installed elsewhere), and the 3rd time was caused by a "flushed converter" severely contaminating the transmission.

Was this on a TwinTurbo GTO from Minnesota?
How do you flush the converter? I am looking at the same trans this guy has and I would like to learn as much as I can. I don't want to go threw three trannies. I just could not afford it. My setup is going to be twin 76s shooting for over 1000rwhp.
