Should transmission line pressure be turned down?
Installing a shift kit and servo, should the transmission line pressure be turned down - back to stock? I had the tuner firm up the shifts a little, since the tranny's currently stock.
BTW, kit will be Transgo HD2 and the vette servo...

Well, I'm not sure how he turned it up....
I'm not a tuner, so I have a problem with telling him how or how not to turn it down....regardless, the question is just "should it be turned down"

Don't be a PUSS!! Turn the bitch up and let it scream!

Too bad you don't have Allen tuning it. Then you wouldn't have to worry about it.
He would tune it just right to compliment your mods and vehicle's primary use.
It's never too late to switch tuners.
