What Trans Shift Points should I use?

My car is basically stock, but fooling with my HPTuners I was wondering what would be a good shift point setup for performance without destroying my trans...

Another question. While I'm logging during my VE tune I try to shift into second and keep it in second to get my lower rpms logged. Would there be a way to set my shift points so I can get these easier without slowing down and speeding up and forcing it to upshift/downshift?
 


Stock car = stock shift points. The stock shift points make the rpm's go about 800-1000 over what the car's powerband is. Wich is where you want them to be.


Why are you trying to log lower rpm's? What are you trying to do?
 
For that just drive like you normally do. It's easiest and most accurate that way.

It's more of a learning process for myself. I'm starting to learn how to tune with the help of some people, and before I get to the next step I am just fooling with some more minor things.

hmm, all i can say is read read read and talk to the people that have been doing it a while. That's where i learned lol. Just mention that you're a newb and we'll be easy on ya haha.

Yea I've been doing it just driving down to work and such, but it still isn't filling in all the boxes....

It doesn't have to fill all of them in. Just the ones it can hit. If you can't hit a particular cell, there's no point in it being tuned. :th_winking:

Some excel sheets can do "guess work" to fill in the rest to get it close. Not sure if Eddie's program can do that or not.
