Default Wait!! I use less throttle after SSF3500 stall?? HUH

I log a lot of driving because its interesting to see what these cars do with modifications. Today I finally logged with the new ssf3550 converter and I found something wierd about my driving habits. After going on a 20 minute joy ride(which was fun and fast as hell), I found that I never brought my throttle over 75 percent although tires were spinning and I was flying. It still felt much much faster than with the stock converter. Looking back at logs before the converter I was up at 100 percent throttle all the time. Huh, I figured It would be the other way around! Anyways, converter is awesome, tires spin for ever and I guess I havent even punched it to 100 percent throttle. Tomorrow will be fun.

Oh yeah, looking at my hptuners bin file I noticed that for my 1-2 WOT shift vs. MPH is 41 MPH and the 1-2 WOT Shift vs. RPM is 6408. Does this mean that it won't shift at WOT from 1-2 until I am going 41 MPH and my RPMs are above 6408??

That is the case with both my '02 Z28 and '04 C5. I am not positive that it works the same with your '99.
