Welcome to Permagrin.

If your trans is slipping, it needing attention before you installed the DP-TUNER. Do you have exhaust and intake? You must have gauges because you know you boost psi. I think a valve body will help you with the shifting. I have BTS-VB in mine and the shifting is great.

Good luck.

Ok, got ya. The tunes will give you stiffer shifting. The VB will help your trans last longer and keep it cooler. All you can do is keep an eye on your trans, if it starts slipping real bad, you know what that means.
