What are good pressure readings?

[OneLethal87GN]

I'm taking my car back tomorrow to get it pressure-tested. What would good numbers be and what would bad numbers be? My tranny was just rebuilt (more than once) and it works fine except when any kind of power is put to it. Just driving normal it works fine. When you give it enough throttle to just start getting boost the thing starts slipping and seems to be burning up the second gear band. The band is the wide race band and my old shift kit was re-installed. However, the shifts are really soft to be having a shift kit in it. I will ask about them getting me another shift kit since they probably put mine back in wrong after taking it apart and putting it back together so much. I will also ask about a bigger servo since this is an 85 GN tranny in my 87 GN. When the tranny was rebuilt before and installed in the 87 it would bark the tires under the same throttle that this tranny slips under.

That should get you in the ballpark, but you should test on the road too to see if your press. drops @ high RPM & acceleration.

Thanks for the reply man, but the jackasses at AAMCO refuse to work on my car because they don't think it has a problem so I filed a lawsuit against them for refusal to honor the warranty.
