Here is my problem I think.
On several occasions now when I have put my foot into it from a start. It launches just fine raps out just fine. Then when I get to about 5.5 KRPM (shift point between 1&2) My rev limiter kicks in before my shift can complete its transfer between 1 and 2.

1) Hits about 5.5 K
2) Transmission starts to shift.
3) Engine keeps wanting to go past rev limiter
4) Rev limiter it keeping it around 55. K
5) Transmission finally makes it transition between 1&2

Does any one else have this problem?
Is it a problem?
Can the superchip be re-programmed for quicker shifts or do I need to use a shift kit?

Seems to me that this time while I am limiting my power I would rather be launching.

HI!... LASERNAV : By any chance have you changed to lower gears? I had the exact same problem after I installed 4.10 gears in my truck. At the dragstrip or when on the street, if I floored it from a stop and left it in drive it would hit the rev limiter during the 1ST - 2ND. This would cause my truck to fall on it's face BIGTIME! It would almost feel like it would stall. The solution is to call MIKE TROYER and have him fix your problem with the superchip. MIKE had SUPERCHIP's raise my rev limiter by a couple hundred rpm. This way it won't hit the rev limiter anymore. Now on my new custom "FLIPCHIP" I had MIKE raise my 1ST gear shift point to 5800RPM and raise the rev limiter to 6000RPM. I also had him raise my 2ND gear shift by 200RPM. Hope this helps you out. Do yourself a favour and give MIKE TROYER a call.
