If you want to have firmer shifts, invest in a shift kit
(http://www.apsprecision.com). There really isn't any substitute for a
mechanical shift kit...electronics/software can only go so far on the
42/44/46/46/48 series transmissions.
As for the slipping, have that checked out. It shouldn't slip too much or,
not want to as you described.
I've had excellent results with the Jet Stage-II on my '97 V6 but opted for
an ASE Custom flashed PCM (torquey as hell and definitely make more useable
power than the Jet Stage-II).

1997 V6 Club Cab 4WD.. I don't know if I really need shift point changes,
but as it stands the shifts aren't really too aggresive...
I feel like I'm taking the kids to soccer practice instead of wielding the
enormous towing power of a magnum engine.
Kind-of along the same lines, my transmission seems to not want to shift
into second sometimes, it almost seems like the truck slips from 1st to
neutral for about a second, then into 2nd gear.
Is that a BAD thing or is it normal?
Thanks,
Pete
