Less than 20% TPS and less than 2000rpm. I will get the TranX on there and get you some info.

I'm assuming that the psi is at 150 at that throttle. You let me know HOE! Remember green bottles for Xmas!

Correct, 150psi as soon as I touched the throttle. If I got on it a little it would see 180psi. My luck is the installer drilled the plate to .120

Maybe the checkball is missing. The intermediate clutch feed circuit (used for 1-2) is the most likely to jam the checkball into the separator plate and get it stuck, so maybe the installer just decided to take the easy way out and avoid the posibility entirely.
For what it's worth, the intermediate and direct circuits on mine are drilled to .096" and overdrive is .120". That comes out too harsh at low throttle for the 1-2 and 2-3 so I tuned down pressures for those at low throttle. This has two benefits: It helps prevent the checkballs from oblonging the holes in the separator plate and it makes for snappier downshifts since there's less pressure to bleed off and larger exhaust passage (checkball hole + feed orifice).
