trans slipping?

Quick question I have noticed that when I have my edge programmer juiced all the way up and i start to take off in a "hurry" or floored i feel like the rear end is slipping like the tires are hopping maybe what could this be the trans or the rear end or just the programmer. My truck has a brand new BTS trans in it so i am hoping that isn't the case. any help would be appreciated.

What kind of trans fluid did you use? Have you tried to call Brian and ask him about it?

Are you sure you are not just smokin' the tires?

I second the idea to call Brian.

I know when I have my chip turned up and I am getting after it. It feels like something is slipping, till you look back and see a couple of 12 in wide black marks

Well since it is a new BTS, I don't see why it should be slipping. Call Brian as said above... I've called him and he's a great help...
