1999 Corvette, shift firmness

Hi fellas,

I know this is the first year Vette that the Diablo intune supports, I am running the diablo 91 octane tune, I like it but was looking for firmer shifts.
Can this be done in this tune? where can I find this if it can be done?

TIA

modify the tune and adjust the shift pressure setting

thanks 06MonteSS, I went in and modified that pressure to 8 on the firm side for both 2nd & 3rd gear.

I know it is all preference but the increase I made is not radical enough to throw things off, right?

no.. you just don't want it to really SLAM/BANG into gear.. other than that, it's fine, adjust it to however much you like it...

Thanks for your reply, In the parameters, I never touched WOT, I only adjusted 2 & 3 under normal driving. Giving the car a feel of a shift kit, what # would you set it to? and would you go into WOT to adjust that a bit?

Just a follow up:

The car is very responsive and has real nice firm 2nd & 3rd, not to hard and not sloppy. I am leaving this the way it is, if I decide to adjust WOT, I will follow up with results but I already found my happy number "8"

thanks
