Default had my circle d installed today

i know its been posted before but i just wanted to add my props to circle d. tc is the 3k-3200. added the vette servo and aluminum forward and accumulator pistons also. shifts real firm, pulled harder and still had great street manners. would definately reccomend circle d to anyone! question though, do u guys still run any added line pressure over stock in your tunes with the stall and servo? going to the track this wknd but gonna tune tomorrow night first.

You'll be OK with added line pressure since the only thing increasing the firmness of the shifts is the servo, which just has more surface area for more apply pressure. The higher stall converter will actually soften the shifts. Just don't go too crazy with the pressure, you don't want it shifting harshly or barking the tires, that's how you break hard parts

Depending how high you go you may want to unlock during the shift. Tuning the way a trans. shifts is a long process since not everyone likes the same thing.

Thanks for the props, we appreciate it. Adding a little line pressure is ok as long as there is no shift kit. You either want to add it electronically or hydraulically, not both.
