I will make one calibration change for an additional $100 per change. For example, changing a shift point for a given gear is $100 vs changing a shift point and a pressure setting would be $200. That value can be used towards the full custom tuning price.

How much pressure is too much

Has anybody found the limit of adding pressure on stock 80s? I know it's a pretty big variable based on how the valve bodies are setup in aftermarket builds. Generally I keep adding pressure until it feels like I want it to but I rarely go over 250 or feel the need to based on how it shifts. What is too much on a stock 80?

Also the one confusing part about the line pressure tables are the 4 separate maximums. Max pressure, Max pressure B, Max clutch, and the max line pressure table. Any explanation on what these limits are for exactly and why they are so different from the factory (275, 217, and 110)?
