Default 518 Transmission / Stroker 408

I recentaly built my 2001 Ram 1500 2wd 5.9 into a stroker 408, Eddy Heads & ProJection III EFI. Now for the 518 Transmission. It's fresh with a stock torque converter, Trans go 2 shift kit. My computer system in the truck is by-passed. Everything is old school, MSD complete ignition.

What can I do to get my transmission working like before. In town it shifts fine but it seems 4th gear (OD) is on vacation. On the highway it is 2700 rpm at 60 mph. Before it was around 1900 rpm at 60 MPH. I found one company (PATC) but they only kit 1998 and older.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I would think that kit from PATC would work. Is your speedometer working okay with this setup? I'd love to see some pic of the set up!

PATC said their kit would not wrk with out the computer. All my stock guages work exceptthe tackometer. I installed and Autometer tach. Do you know if there is a way to see if the transmission part of the computer is working? Maybe it is but need the PATC computer kit. I don't know. Cheers
I'll try to post some pics.
