Default Converter Q?

'10 camaro ss ...
Just did a pro torque 3200. The car drives great and shifts like a hammer at wot until you get to the 3-4 shift. According to the log and tuner the rev limiter is tuned to 6200..the car is seeing 6180 on a tenth second frame (logging via sct). This shift is slower than other gears. Think it's the tune? Pressure drop? Too close to the limiter? I don't get it. Pressures are up like 9 percent and some torque mgmnt is still in place. We are checking the fluid level to rule that out but low fluid would be sloppy shifts in all gears...would it not? Gimme some feedback. Car makes about 500whp...vortech kit, 3.70 gears, suspension.

the 6l80 changes shafts from 3 to 4..this is also where if you try and make it to fast, you will destroy the trans... tread lightly..this is the slow shift.. nothing you can do but break it from here on out..
