Does your SHO have the Performance Package, rowland?  Does the stutter still happen with AdvanceTrac completely off (ESC and TC)?  Maybe there's a new calibration that the dealership can put on (ask them)?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

No it is non PP. I do turn off the traction control within the menus but get the same results.

Gonna pipe in a little late on this.

I recently switched over to a Livernois tune (V10) and love it.  But, because of the 1-2 shutter, I went from the regular 93 tune, to the softer shift 93 tune, and today down to a new 93 tune that puts the 1-2 pressures at or near stock levels.

If you drive the car nice for a bit, the stutter goes away as the adaptive learning knocks the pressures down.  But, after 3 or so WOTs, the stutter returns for a while -- I assume because the computer adjusts the pressure back up in response to your aggressive driving.  I would also assume that, with stock power, that increased pressure "percentage" was fine, but is still too much for the new power.  Just a theory.

Your car is still running OEM fluid, John?  You might want to switch out to Amsoil Signature (even if you have lo miles right now) and see if it helps.  Aggressive driving demands better products supporting/protecting your ride.

John,

I also still get the stutter after 3-4wot pulls not back to back but if in the same few days with the stutter coming back. Also have the softer shifting tune.

I've never had it on 3-4 shifts - though I'm not sure I have the nerve to still be running WOT at those speeds :). Your other option would be to ask them to return the pressures to "near stock." That has to help, though might not completely cure it. Tell ANTHONY that another guy on the Internet just got the tune you want - he will remember me.

Shod - funny you ask. BG trans flush in the morning - though they insisted on using BG fluid. I at least confirmed it will be LV certified.

I have Redline on my tool bench for the PTU and the RDU. Will be doing that myself next week.

10-4. Costing $210, which is a little extreme, but we'll see

Dont believe Redline makes 80w-90 for the RDU,only 75-90 IMO & would confirm prior to install.  Z

Yea, I'm willing to live on the edge there. Redline is top shelf stuff.  The viscosity difference is negligible.  Is there concern?

Redline 75w90 should be ok, they include the Ford XY-80W90-QL spec in the list.

The PTU fluid will be more critical anyway.  It is a very harsh environment.

Yep, those are the two weights I bought. I'm a big Amsoil fan for motor oil, but Redline for everything else.  It was Redline I wanted for the trans, but was told no.
