Default Transmission question

My car is tuned to shift @ 6200 rpm but lately for the past 3 days when rolling @ 60mph and go wot third gear will shift @6500rpm ???? Second gear still shifts @ 6200rpm. Also I've noticed on 30mph rolls that the tc takes a little longer to lock. Other than that on normal driving trans shifts smooth and no slipping Any ideas?

the shift points should be programmed by the pcm's. i changed mine during my tune to 6200rpm and i rarely hit that unless im at the track.

6200 rpm is a little high for the 2-3 shift, 6500 is way to late. I feel (depending on your mods) anywhere between 6100-6200 is optimal for the 1-2 shift and 5900-6000 is optimal for the 2-3 shift.

Thanks for the info I'm going back next week to have that fixed with my tuner.
