Re: 4l60 help needed
You could be in trouble real quick.....ie. toasted transmission.
Not only are your shift points too early, you're also running dangerously low line pressure at part throttle and slipping clutches and bands.
I'm assuming your Holley TB is a larger diameter than the one you replaced. If so, your engine is now producing more torque at a given throttle angle than it did before. Either figure out how to modify the TV cable/adjustment to compensate (the factory TV adjustment method will no longer work for you), or put your stock TB back on.

Re: 4l60 help needed
Is the chip for the holley tbi? If not you will need to get another one. or tune and burn one yourself. Are you using stock size tires? if not you need to recalibrate the DRAC.

once the above is correct,
your gonna have to put a line pressure guage on the test port.

Put a line pressure gauge on the pressure test port and go for a drive to verify proper line pressure. Base pressure at idle in P,N,OD should be around 70psi and around 140psi in R. Max line pressure should be at least 190psi at WOT in 1st or 2nd, 225psi is optimum. If base pressure is low, trans or pump is worn out. If max pressure is low, check EPC solenoid. If reverse is slow to engage, and line pressure does not come up to at least 130psi in reverse, replace the boost valve.
