Default mph shift changes with ss4000, what's yours????

just installed ss4000 I have a bolton car and shift at 6300 rpm with 3.73 gears what mph do you shift to 2,3 gears . I shift into 2 at 35 and 3 at 75 is this about right? I had a 2800 stall and shifted at 45 and 85 . I was wondering why the difference in mph shift changes.can someone explain why?

I just put a ss4k in also and it did the same but at much much lower speed. Im not sure, but i had to re flash the tune via hptuners and it works fine now. Weird..

They have to be adjusted because the converter is slipping more.

Mine is 1>2 32
..........2>3 60
..........3>4 103

you shouldn't not have it shift into overdrive when under WOT...

I have always kept mine in 3rd while making a pass, also it is tuned out so it doesn't shift even if I have it on OD

I race at the track in D, but even in OD, I never hit speeds where it would go into 4th. Im not sure why the mph is set so low but based on rpm, it won't reach 4th at WOT.

Local tuner, and now I have hptuners. I haven't really fooled with it much so most of the tune is not mine.
