Hey Dude, all you have to do is bump up the minimum voltage setting on the TPS. Stock I think is .52v and you can bump it up to .6 and the rpms will be up a good bit higher.

Re: For those who have pulled transmissions. (Aaron71771)

I have a piece of 10" X 12" plywood that I put under the pan to rest on the jack. Never jack on the pan directly, it's just sheet metal and will collapse.
