Does it happen on map 4?
Could be a trans slippage/lack of pressure issue, maybe old fluid/seals/etc, or could be legit trans issue. Did you up the torque recently?

Like I said, I don't think Map 5 likes the pump flash due to lower default timings.
Would not run Race with pump gas unless you also run Meth.

Any other feedback? Was thinking I might try the Race flash with Map 5 and see if it learns down to the lowest setting (12 PSI I think?). Logs should tell me pretty quick if this is a bad idea.
