Another thanks to Don @ Slowhawk performance! I just put a ss3600 stall in and needed a tune for a while even before the stall. Just minor mods nothing big. Iv had the car tuned by another shop 1 1/2 years ago and Don found the trans pressures through the roof after checking the other shops tune. Everything was adjusted and the car drives great! I finally feel that I can take my car to one tuner and it will be right. I will not waste my time with other shops anymore. Now I cant wait to take it to the track
Thanks Don!

Yea, if a shop does a tune, a common practice is to raise the pressure but I have found most times this leads to premature failure. PCM4Less had done a tune for my LT1 car and when the trans was rebuilt for the first time we had a Trans Go Shift kit installed and same issue. They also needed to tune to allow WOT for the 3-4 shift and to allow it not to drop back to 3rd.
Glad it worked out, GL on your track runs.

Senical did some great work to his car. The tune wasn't bad except the tranny shift pressure's cranked to the moon. They didn't touch timing at all and commanded A/F was set to 10.6-1. We cleaned it up and spent some time on the street/ dyno. Car came out very good.

Yea but Don, the barking shifts were cool though....bwahhhhhhhhhhhh...ert...bwahhHHHHHHHHHH. ..ERT...BWAHHMMBABBBAAAAA. 
I imagine there must have been some damage done beating on it some in 1 1/2 years with that tune, 50-75 passes, street driving, and having almost 94k on it. Drives great now though.
Thanks guys.

i have seen it before 
a buddy of mine in his 4 runner lol.
Congrats on the new tune and stall. I got mine retuned (originally tuned in 2002 by another shop) by don and discovered A/F was way off and 6* too much timing.
