    basically is it possible to add to a gtp w/o it, on 3800 performance they say shift table is only changed in perf. shift on thier tunes (which i have), so if i dont have the option how does my tune work, but either way i would like it if it only adding a switch and some wires

    Perf shift is done via the PCM at WOT in 99+ (I believe)

    You would need to reprogram your PCM (for starters).

    if so, that might explain why it shifts ****ty at 75% throttle but better at WOT

    ok, i tried google and found that you can ground pin 21 on a tuned pcm to enable it but doesnt do as much on a 01+ compared to a -00

    oh, and i have a DHP pcm
