45mph shift Well this thread is going south, but heres a clip anyhow.

I have been happy with my tune, and the free update feature is cool.

the tow/haul to race/haul conversion changes the tranny setting a bit.
it firms up the shifts a little more and it will allow you to downshift at a higher rpm.
My truck was in tow/haul when I took the video.
with out the button pressed, it will only go to first at 40mph.
here is a clip without tow/haul *** on:
40mph shift

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread..
If its off by 10% then it will be off more at higher speeds

I had noticed the light on the first vid.Your shift was a little sloppy,you might consider a vette servo.

Not trying to hijack this thread either, but this has to do with the tuning.
Should I ask Jesse to tighten it up, or go for a transgo kit, or servos?
I've heard the servos alone may not be a 'complete' fix.

when driving at 1/2 throttle it shifts nice and quick, but at wot it's slow.

Not trying to be an ***, but going to bigger tires will make it off a certain amount all the time. no more, no less. Just like changing a gear in your transmission.The tire size is actually the end of the drive train. I don't think chevy came up with a magic number when they selected wheels for these trucks. an example would be 31.9"dia x? rpm =? mph then 31.9"dia x?rpm = ?mph. the MPH would be linear no matter what #s you put for rpm x31.9"dia. again, I'm not trying to be an ***... Oh and my 45-50mph down shift to first was done with out tow/haul.... sweeet
