    Post your tune file... and the spreadsheet with your shift/tcc tables in it.

    You've got your 3rd gear TCC lockup the same speed as your 3-4 shift.... that's not good. You should have 3rd gear TCC set higher than the 3-4 shift. 3rd gear TCC lockup should only happen if you manually lock the gear selector into 3rd gear.

    well I tried the spreadsheet values I made following this and it made the trans very busy.. Probably due to the 3.42 gears and the 4L80E's steep gearing with the 78mm turbo on the 5.3 (Read: Lag) that I have to really get into the throttle to get her going and the trans constantly shifts and TCC locks/unlocks, etc. Copied the 4L60E tune shift points that I remember to be a nice mix of performance like feel and drive-ability on this trans. Will still keep playing around.

    Move the sloped part of the shift curves to a higher TPS%.
