My Car keeps shifting at 63mph at WOT from 2 to 3
I think everything's right but I mustbe issing something!

Now here's how my tune is:
WOT Shift RPM 6000, WOT 2-3 shift 73
Gearing is fine and speedo isn't off
WOT Shift SPeed vs. Shift is set to 73 for Normal hot and performance
WOT Shift RPM vs Shift is at 6000 for all
WOT Enable TPS% is 90% disable 85%
and for ***** and giggles i set the Shift Speed vs. TPS vs Shift to 73mph for anything above 90%
Only other trans tables modified are:
Desired Shift time vs Torque zeroed out
TCC Lock During shift set to No
And TM tables are zeroed out
but it still keeps shifting at 63mph
I put the car in 2nd and held the shift out (damn slow *** TACH)

Fuel cutoff is 7000 rPM and i didn't hit it
Any suggestions?
(Tranny is vacuum modulated so line pressure tables don't matter)
The strange thing I've noticed is that even though the PCM issaying it's in 3rd gear (at the shift point) the RPMs are still rising after a shift.. maybe just because the scanner logs so fast?but regardless I can feel the shift and it's happening just above 60 on the speed before 65... it should be holding it out another 10mph ...
Should I just bump the 2-3 shift up some? or maybe make the RPM for WOT shifts 6500 or so so that it won't shift until that RPM is reached?

I have/had a similar issue.
Take a look at a gear/rpm/mph calculator:
http://www.f-body.org/gears/
At 6100 rpm, assuming about 25.4" effective diameter
tire (what do you have set to in ls1edit) and your 3.73s,
at 6100rpm, you should be at 76mph.... you're at 61mph,
which indicates 20% slippage on the torque converter...
I had about 20% at 5000rpm and maybe 15% at 6000 and
my torque converter showed 35mph loss ulocked vs. locked.
I think your torque converter is set up too loose. & what I
think happens is the computer sees massive slip and decides
it better play it safe and shift early. I could get it
to shift later by ramping up rpm's but obviously it's a band
aid. A decent converter should not be slipping that much
at that far past it's stall rating. My converter is on it's way
back to me set up tighter.. they also though the sprag in the
stator could have been defective- that got changed for
good measure as well. They were supposed to throw it
on the dyno before it left too. I plan to post my results
after I'm back together... going to prove less slip with logs
similar to yours on street and then redyno.

heh I made a form like that one too... I started just wanting to quickly calculate the number of RPMs required to add 1MPH in a give gear... but then added gears 1-6 like that site

I undestand it was freshened up, but from the little I know of stall converter builds, it's as much art than science in building the right amount of vane angle, clearance for a particular motor's power output. I bet if you dyno locked vs. unlocked you'll show at least 30hp loss... again purely because of the amount of slip you are showing at 6000 rpm.

The problem is some tuner products do not adjust all the values needed to properly calculate for gear/tire combo's.
Try the new value I gave you Mike, it should fix your problem.
