Default Tune will solve or Trans going?

Got my 3600 Fuddle installed last friday. Since i've picked my car up it bangs the rev limiter on 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. Otherwise it pulls very hard, the only other question I have is it seems to pull weird sorta like it's hesistating at the higher rpms before it bangs the rev limiter. I'm getting it tuned tommorrow btw.

Keep checking your fluid level. When I installed my converter (same as yours btw) I had the same problem as you and didn't get any results by playing with my tune. The fluid level was right at the hot hash marks while idling in park.....I added .50-.75 quart and it fixed the problem, no more hitting the rev limiter. Stick some more fluid in there, if it still happens you may need to raise your rev limiter a couple hundred rpm. How many miles on the trans?

59,000, never had problems before with it. They put a pretty big trans cooler on there to be safe also. This has been the case since I drove away from the shop with the converter, so that's why i'm thinking/hoping it's the tuning.
