Does this make sense?

I'm trying not to take up too much of your time here but is that what I could be feeling on the 2-3 shift occasionally? It doesn’t always happen but sometimes it feels like the clutch disengages just before the shift allowing the rpm’s to build momentarily and then hits firmly into third. Seems more prominent when there is a load on the truck. The truck continues to accelerate through it but the tach and speedo don't seem 100% matched up. It's so minor I not exactly sure it's not just my imagination but after the info you gave in an earlier post I thought it was possibly the stock torque converter clutch catching up with the modified valve body. I was hoping if there was something going on it would be corrected with your tuning.

Could this cause longevity problems with the higher hp tunes and is there something I could do to improve it?

Also thanks for the time and info you’re sharing. I really appreciate it.
