I think that the following will be changed in mine when done, Line shift pressure, shift points, fan on/off temps....if there is more to do they have not said so yet. Of course when I get to the shop we will go over what options are available to help the cause.

I nailed it at 30 mph pulling onto the interstate ramp, tires were instantly spinning and before I knew what happened I was bouncing off the rev limiter and hit second and it kept spinning!!! Tomorrow will be the real test as I am hitting the dragstrip, I hope I can get some traction though. I am going to need some sticky rubber I'm afraid. I will post results tomorrow!! Hope it doesnt rain.
If you are bouncing off the rev limiter, your programming is off, you are not on a dyno! My rev limiter is set at 6600 rpms. What happened at the drag strip???

I just did the same to my vette-3.42's (bye 2.73's), LS6 intake, and Ed Wright Programming--totally a new car. When it hits second it almost slides out of it's lane with the tc on :jester --Can't wait to take it to the strip :chevy

Sounds great, I can't wait until friday I get mine back from LPE. Before it went there it had the 273 with stock converter. When I get it back it will had 342, 2800 stall and super charger intsalled, so I can't wait to feel the differance.

Wallstall, I did not change the rev limiter, I did a manual shift from first to second. Revs were up before I was ready to shift. At the strip my '60 foot times were worse than before due to wheelspin, I gained 2 tenths, I made 3 passes and the rain started again. With traction I know I can drop another 2-3 tenths.

I never manually shift, let the computer do the work, you can't beat it, especially at the track.
