What level are you running?..........................one way to help out a bit is a transgo kit but if you really wanna hold some power upgrade the trans.

Is it slipping between 1st and second or just defueling hard? Is it limping the trans?

If its slipping it would code. The TCM is much smarter than you think. I am sure what you are feeling is the converter being unlocked and their being a bit more power being put through it which makes it feel looser.
