I know when I put the vette servo in my old tranny it didn't really feel much different, but that tranny was well on it's way out. I would guess it feels firmer in you new truck because being a new tranny it's still nice and tight with little wear and slip from age. Also your new truck is lighter so you will probably feel the shift more as it kicks the truck.

With my new tranny I had to turn down the shift pressures below stock on the low end to get a nice shift. Still nice and firm tho Of course I have the HD-2 shift kit in there and it will bark the tires from 1>2 even with the pressures at stock or a little below.

your trans is slipping . . . there's some "spacers" that come with the TransGo. . . this takes care of it. . .

You're going to burn up your band if you keep it up

If you're sounds like that, then it's the band slipping. In the kit there's some really large rings, you might want to put one in.

if you have an after market cam, most likely your cam makes better power up top . . . this is if your shift points are low, or if they're at the stock settings.

If you haven't changed the shift point then I am guessing that the rev limiter isn't above the stock setting and most cams make power well over the stock limiter.

Damn you took that thing over and let Tyler tune it for you and he didn't raise your rev limiter and shiftpoints for you or what? Tell him he's not done yet.
