Default 4l80e trans tuning?

I have an LS1 and a 4l80e in my 67 Nova. Frost did the initial conversion tune on the project. I would like to know if someone could help with my trans tuning.
Part throttle 1-2 shift is firm, 2-3 is softer than I would like and 3-4 is ok. WOT 1-2 is soft and slips into 2nd as though torque management is applied. 2-3 is firm and nice. I have read some about shift pressures and I believe the shift pressure table has the stock values in it at 90. Can someone help me with getting it to shift harder?
Thanks in advance.
Jay

Shift kit. Then lower the part throttle pressures to what your looking for.

You have hptuners I assume? I can give you a good trans tune for you to look at.....and coolaid made a nice guide of understanding what all the tables do. In short though I would up max pressure to 96, eliminate all torque reduction, then change the upshift modifier tables in the areas you want to get the feel you want, working up to > maxing out at wot torque range(looking at a tune you will understand)

Correction , I talked to the trans builder and he did not install a shift kit. Once talking with him I remember we talked about not installing the shift kit to see how the trans would be without it. Sure if you want to post a tune or send it to my email, that would be great! I am not sure if the tunes will be the same between the 60 and 80e, but I do have an 80e. I will take a look at the link.
Thanks so much.

They are very similar. Buddy runs my 60 tune on his 2500HD with the 80 with just some minor tweeks to the upshift tables. Pm me your email and I can shoot it over this evening when im by my laptop.
