Default is my pt4400 going bad?

I'm narrowing down my problem and its either my converter, or my tune.

During the 1-2 shift, and 2-3 shift it feels like I'm hitting a rev-limiter before the shift. During 2nd gear it "pops" a little during the gear. This feeling of hitting the "rev limiter" is much worse on the 2-3 shift.

My car used to run 11.70's in 100* weather and a 4500 DA and now it runs 12.0's in 50* weather and a 500 DA.

Check you fluid and filter that sounds more like a trans or tune adjustment might be needed

the fluid is right where it should be.

the trans was just rebuilt. and it did the same thing before and after the rebuild.

Check your shift points in the tune. You might even drop them a bit to see if the condition persists.

9 times out of 10 though it is the transmission itself. Considering it is a fresh build though definately start with the tune.
