No that shift is much slower than the others even after tuning it.

Agreed.

When I got tuned I had my line pressure raised a little since I'm only NA and still get the blip.

:iagree: I'm tuned by R/T tuning and while they did an amazing job it still does the wacky upreving between 4th and 5th but only occasionally. I noticed it does it more when shifting from the shifter than with the paddles

I really dislike the wonky feeling between 4th to 5th when i'm on my nitrous. I thought my transmission was slipping when I was at the track... It's good (kind of) to hear others having the same issue.

level10?

Gears below 5th are stouter and more able to handle the extra torque -- so no flooring it in 5th.

Upping the line pressure and a beefier trans cooler to minimize heat is a good idea.

heard good things about them and they are in PA so i gotta like them.....even though its near philly :shakes head:

my car has never seen actual "automode" i only drive in manual. everyday i only use the shifter and when at the track or driving hard i'll use the paddles. just in those situations where 2 hands on the wheel seems appropriate lol

thats the main reason i gave up on boost a long time ago. whats the point of boosting a 7AT when i lose the top 3 gears in the trasmission. you can get them back for $6000 in a stage 4 tranny from GTM (if they actually send it back and not just take you money lol).

7at i get this also. When i run thunderbolt i shift to 5th slightly early at 115 to 120mph and it does this.

Also on street sometimes hard accel in 4th then shify into 5th. Rarely happens on syreet though. Maybe heat related... i dunno

Full auto shifting is based in part on load, so it may not be slipping so much as seeing transitions in load that are not jibing with TPS, road, and engine speed, resulting in some gear hunting.
