Great info, GaryH do you like the TCI unit? would you choose one again? I have been leaning toward that unit, as I like the display size, and that you can monitor trans temp with it easily.

Yes, I would choose the TCI unit again. The main issue I ran into is that it initially would not shift gears when I did a full throttle blast (scary). Normal driving it shifted fine. In speaking with TCI they said that when you hit full throttle the controller uses the RPM to determine the shift points, which you program in the controller. For some reason the controller wasn't getting the signal from the distributor as to what the RPM was. It would only loose the signal at high RPM. The solution was to bypass the TCI tach filter and it worked perfectly after that.

Hmm You'd think it would use the speed sensor, and a combination of gear and tire height. That's how HPtuner worked for the transmission controls on the OEM stuff.

I'd honestly rather not use the tach signal for a trans controller. But if that's the way they all are I guess you're stuck with it.
