I noticed the tuning was not a 68rfe solution personally early on with having the 2nd comp68 back in 2010 or 2011 if I remember correctly suncoast was sending all the TCMS to Dave at B&G for tuning.... for what was a "race " specific tune. Then with time and more R&D they started and still use H&S for the tuning, but I'd put money on it that as has been said before...... if your not driving the 68 hard all the time it reverts back to softer shift schedules. There are time that the 68 can feel different just from a 20min drive hard to the grocery store, turn the truck off to go inside, and then bam it feels like a completely different trans.
I'm no expert, but every builder I've ever talked to say there are 2 main reasons the 68 is so up and down and this is due to 1. the communications between the ecm and tcm, and 2. the adaptive learning that is never ending.
Best advice on the 68 just find one style of driving you enjoy and avoid stop and go traffic.
If your racing it, then do as above poster says and make sure there are a few key cycles before you run down the track as it seems it recalibrates upon each start.
