Valve bouncing does nothing u actually loose power, so if it ls because I'll get 800 or so more rpm in racing or what ever you'll be making a lot of noise going no where any quicker and doing damage so just stick to 5 or so grand, because in a couple of months well get a help my cars fudged thread lol

It can be set not to shift up in the memcal chip.I adjusted the auto trans settings on my chip so it doesnt change up by itself when first is manually selected.Its the only auto Ive seen that does this.Usually if you select 1st gear,they wont change up to second unless you manually shift it up.Having it shifting up by itself is a prick of an idea I reckon.If you select first gear,you want first gear,not second gear.

If u put it in 1st it won't shift up , the gear pins is one spot if it was to change it would mean that pins ####ed and it won't stay in any gear

These auto transmissions will shift up to second gear by themselves if you rev it just into the redline, even though first gear is selected.
