Sct tuner questions/ concerned

Well I order a tune from Matt.

Im not sure what tune it was, slr maybe?

Well it's insane what the tune did to my truck power wise.

I'm not sure if I like the way the transmission is shifting, much firmer.

Could I change that? Or should I just leave it the way he set it up?

Also, should I worry about anything if I always leave the tune on? I will usually drive normally.

I just don't want to have to worry about transmission problems??

A quick, firm shift is better for your tranny in the long run. Give it a couple of days, and if you aren't used to it, have Matt make the adjustments. You can leave the tune in all the time if you like, just don't tow anything over what the tune is rated for.

Try it for a week or 2 and see if the trany feels better. If not then talk to mat and get him to adjust it.

The first time I loaded my street tune it shifted hard but after several miles in city driving
it smoothed right out.

i have matts tune and i love the way it shifts. for me the harder the shift the more i know its not slipping. i know when its also to hard at the same time. also you can drive with it day in and day out. it will help fuel mileage also or atleast it should. hope this helps
