Default Shift points going from 2:73 to 3:73

I just had 3:73's put in and I ordered a diablo tuner. I had 2:73's,doesn't anyone know what shift points would be best? Anything else I should change..Its pretty much stock and staying that way.Should I firm up the shift? My car shifts really well now,but I'm worried if I get a shift kit it will be too firm.

2.73 to a 3.73 is a very big difference, going to wake up the car big time. Honestly before I spend a lot of money on a transmission I would upgrade the converter, that will give you a good increase in performance.

I would consider something around 3,400-3,600 if you are looking to get performance out of your car as is, if you drive it every day and have to commute far you might consider going a little lower stall, but the increase in performance drops pretty quick when you go below 3,000 stall since the motor makes peak torque around 4,000 rpm.
