the transmission is shifted by the pcm and there is a tps vs rpm table (if I remeber correctly) that shifts your transmission. If you would like it to shift with less throttle you are going to have to get it tuned. I don't understand why you would need to drop a gear at 40% tps anyhow, if you wanna go you gotta put your foot down. Quit pussyfootin around and give it some gas

hahaha.... na its not that i want to drop gear faster it that when i drive my friends 95 z28 it has way better response than mine like the tranny feels more a live and when im in my car i can heat up my 245' tires and stall the car and it will hook like if i had slicks on and in my friends car his goes all over the road so i was thinking it had to do with the transmission or the torque converter
