Is it a good idea to enable the shift firmness selection on a forced induction engine? Any benefits/negative effects?

 

Yup, the firmer it shifts, the less wear on the trans

 

With the HPP3 shift firmness on its firmest setting is it a noticeable difference in shifting? I want the biatch to shift pretty hard. I have always had beefed up autos. Hell, my old 2.8l S10 would even bark second gear! <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> My 5.3 shifts down into low real strong but the upshift to second is relatively weak. I don't have a programmer yet but will be getting one soon.

 

I have not noticed much of a difference with mine, but its hard to tell sometimes with seat of your pants driving, especially with shifts ,something you can't even feel could shave off your 1/4 time. Don't expect to bark the tires with it though <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

 

Use the shift firmness it will help. Other wise you will smoke that tranny with the slow soggy shift, especially the shift from 2nd to 3rd.
