Line pressure/Firmness after Converter ? I have my Line pressure set pretty firm on the stock stall and I am wondering if I will have to boost it again to feel the same firmness after I install my 3600 fuddle?

You won't have the same hard bang as before but
don't confuse that with effectiveness; you lose the
flywheel mass and the coupling somewhat but as
long as it gets done, it's good.
I have been running a high line presure for a while
(left over from the TCI converter tune). It shifts
plenty firm. But unnecessarily so, really.
I would drive it for a bit in your normal way, if you
can log it for "time of latest shift" you can collect
info on the actual git-er-done times and see if any
areas are having trouble.
But banging the driveline isn't necessarily the best
way to go. You balance heat in the clutches (slow)
against impact damage (hard) and hope it lasts as
long as possible.

I set the desired time to shift to around 0.2 across the board and I am leaving the TCC unlocked druing shifts. I iwsh there was a way to monitor heat. How close are you to Titusville Jimmy ?
