Your shifts sound like their off. Exactly how did you program this thing and just where is your rev-limiter set for ? I think you made a mistype with "6500" and I think you mean "5500", at least I hope so.

They've got the shift points wrong then. Has the o/d light on your console flashed by any chance ?

I think redline is 5800 rpm If they have that shifting in the 6000's
you are in trouble

Its ok if it shifts at 6,100 rpms. However, its those other shifts I'm worried about. Hopefully its just the programming is off.

Check out Danny Swanson in Torrence. I heard he's able to do the diablo stuff now. Or get an Autologic chip. Then have Swanson, XMP, or Steve at Powertrain Dynamics do it for you. Powertrain did my chip. Couldn't be happier

Good luck man.

If you need a new chip, call up Superchips and get in touch with Jerry Wroblewski. No one knows that 4r70w transmission better than him.
