    RPM dip during shifts

    I bought another G8 GT a few weeks ago and I am working some bugs out of the pro tune. One that has me puzzled is during light throttle acceleration, the engine rpm dips a few hundred rpm and then returns to normal after the shift. Perhaps this is normal but I've never had a stalled car before. It drives and shifts perfectly at higher throttle. It was previously tuned by a shop. The gears and stall were accounted for.

    I can post a log later but the pertinent mods are
    Rebuilt stock trans
    Yank 3200
    3.45 gears.

    Is the rpm dip normal with a stall or what should I look at in the tune?

    Heres a log that demonstrates what I am experiencing. Frame 2680- rpm dips 200 during the shift from 1 to 2. Happens at all shifts noticeably except for 5-6.

    You have torque management turned on which is what's causing it. If you notice that at the same time the RPM drops the timing does too.

    Post the tune.
    I only pull out 20% TM at part throttle and my car doesn't do anything like that at all.
    I'm saying it's your shift times and pressures. That shift lasted damn near 3/4 of a second.

    The pro tune that came on the car had full TM. I pulled 50% out of cruise and it virtually went away. I hadn't noticed the TM until someone mentioned it. The partial shift times are 0.3. Could be shortened to 0.25 but I don't want them any faster than that.
