It has to be either some kinda of valvebody adjustment or high stall torque converter. I laughed at the the adding an extra gear or manual conversion...

Do these cars have a valve bodie in the tranny? I thought the tranny computer replaced that.

Also to the original poster, how hard was it to drop the tranny anyways?

I have yet to see an automatic transmission without a valve body [I'm talking traditional automatics here]. The fluid needs paths' in order to work properly and the valve body has those paths. The computer is just the brains.

They’re not quite like the Torqueflites and Turbo-Hydramatics I tweaked during simpler times:

It was the easiest transmission I have ever pulled out of a car to date.

Yeah, she's been tearing up the streets since Christmas day. I'll have track numbers after Feb. 7th to reveal the gains from the CUSTOM TORQUE CONVERTER.
