The Trans is probably shifting at he same spot, you're just used to hearing a specific engine load that has now changed due to the rockers.

When I installed 1.7 rockers on my old 5.9 ram, it was just a NICE power increase and I didn't feel anything different in the shift rpm points.

Besides the extra power, I noticed the shift change too, and even stated so in my original thread about the 1.7's. It's just getting up to speed quicker I believe.
