Default Harder shifts?

Ok, I've searched on here and on Hypertech/Superchips sites to find nothing so here goes...

Does anyone make a "tuner" that firms up the shifts on our trucks? I've got the 4.7 5speed and I hate how it shifts lazily into the next gear at WOT.

Also, is there any tuning software out there for our trucks computers? We use HPtuners on my camaro to adjust all the parameters in its computer and was wondering if anything like this was available for us.

The only way to increase shift firmness is to remove the valvebody and have it modified....

The shift points are computer controlled. They are adjustable via the ECU although and if I recall correctly, SOMEONE has come up with a tuner/chip for our trucks. Use the search function, Im sure you will find it.

Its also not a 1960 Cadillac either. It almost feels like it slide into the next gear. No positive shift feel at all.

Damn, I was hoping to avoid that. If all else fails, I'll call Level 10 I guess

Nope, no one. Not even Unichip from what I saw on their site.
