Default Trany question?

I was at the track the other night and it was the first time i have gone since have put in a ssf3500 and 3.73 gears. While running when i hit i think third gear it like just redlined and hit the rev limiter and didnt really do anythin and wouldnt shift even till i let off back to like 4 grand. Then on the drive home i was cruising at like 70 and i just stepped on it and it did the same thing. THen i cruised for a minute and got on it but not as hard and it was then finel. So i guess it only happens when i actually floor it. Does anyone have any ideas on what is goin on. Please let me know.

thanks in advance.

Cory

Has it always done this? Is your ECM reprogrammed for the different gears? You may need to adjust your shift points further to optimize the the shift points.

Hope it's just the software. Lowering the WOT shiftpoint for the 2-3 is a lot less expensive than what 2-3 rev-limiter bouncing is usually caused by...
