Shift kit or programer to tighten up shifts???

I have a shift kit and a chip that are both hardening up the shifts. The chip (or programmer) did a really great job so I'd start there - especially as they can do a bunch of other cool things as well.

My shifts are almost too hard now. On a hot day at WOT I bark 2nd and chirp 3rd. When its cold my Michelins have no grip at all, and the 1-2 shift spins a bit. Not a problem in a straight line but if your accelerating round a corner and the car shifts your screwed. I end up shifting manually in those situations or having to back off the gas which makes me sad. :(

I plan on ripping out the 4r70w and installing a TKO once the car is paid off. Before then I'll be getting 10" rear rims and drag radials which might help a lot (especially when its not hot enough for my current tires to start working well).
