car feels weird after I reprogrammed for gears

I installed 373 gears, about a year ago never adjusted the pcm for it until today
well i used tunercat to program the gears,The car acts like it has a high stall converter in the car, is this normal feels more torqueier down low too, It acts like the tranny slips before the car shifts , but just after i programmed it. Did i do this right or did i do something wrong ? any help will be appreciated. thanks

I guess you would have to detail exactly what you did in the re-program for anyone to try to figure out if you did it correctly. You could always flash it back and see if still acts odd to you.

All I did was change The tire size to 245/50 r16
and change the gear ratio to 373

is there a noticeable affect when you program in for gears
or does it just fix your speedomoter for you?

yeah, it would have changed the shift points back to the stock rpm/vss/tps, not with the incorrect vss reading(would have shifted low speed)
