    If you have a stock transmission, I have the guide from the tuning school that has a good tune in it. Since I modded my transmission, the rules in it don't really work for me anymore. Tuning school gets $99 for it, if you want my copy, I'll sell it to you for $60 shipped. I have no need for it anymore. Take care!

    Why did you put an apostrophe in "transmissions?"

    theres a 5 friction pack and a 6 friction pack for the thrid clutch and maybe its not getting built right. I just rebuild one that they stuffed the 6 frictions in and left the steel out and burnt it up.
    My setup is a 356ci with a 260/268 (212/218 at .050 lift) duration cam with aluminium corvette heads and flat top pistons running 11.3 comp. ratio. with tuned port injection and vortec crank pick up and dizzy running a 411 pcm and 60lb bosch injectors, 1.6 ratio roller rockers. For transmission its a 4l65e built with the monster in a box mega ss kit. All in a 92 chevy ext cab 4x4 pickup with a 98 cab now installed with a third door! running only e85

    My belief is, this all comes from bad airflow readings
    and a GM bias toward fuel economy.

    Trans pressure settings equate to pump load and that
    costs MPG. So GM profiled your line pressure vs "load"
    to be "just enough".

    "Load" is from air mass. Fake that lean according to
    net.Wisdom and you tell the trans (PCM) to take it easy.
    But the motor and the trailer, they aren't with the program
    and the frictions get to deal with it.

    Now you can't get at that line:load map really. There are
    for some platforms, "general pressure" fields. You do at
    least want air mass values to be realistic.

    My approach, which I've left sit for years, is to work the
    force motor table to bring pressure in early and raise
    the line at cruise where I was seeing a lot of TCC slip.
