Default what everyone shifting at with yank pe 4200

Ever since i've had it tranny won't shift at wot. Maybe it needs more rpms is what i'm thinking but i don't know. Shifts have been anywhere from 6000-6400.

have you had it tuned yet? I have the same Yank 4200 and it stutters at WOT between shifts but was told it's because it's not tuned as of yet!

MIne does it only when going from 1-2 and 2-3 at WOT. I'm not sure what tune it has. I might have to ask NIC D again. I think he sent me the tune via e mail so I will have to download it but the only problem is, my laptop only has USB and HPTUNER is serial port. Not sure how to make it work.
