Default shift point question, with a twist

i need to slow my car down a bit at the track. i have gotten too fast to run without a cage, and i need to slow down to run the points series because i refuse to put a cage in my vette at this time(daily driver). i have hpt and i commanded the 1-2 shift to 5000 and 30 mph, which worked great. i commanded the 2-3 to 5000 and 60 mph, which did not work at all, it still ran out to 6600. this has me pulling my hair out right now, because when i manually shift the car, it runs out to the commanded rpm before it will shift, and not as soon as i shift. Any ideas? 2004 a4 corvette with RPM level V transmission and 3600 vigilante convertor. runs 11.0X all out on motor, and i need to slow it to 11.60ish, and the track wont let me run to the eighth and lift, i'm getting speed warnings for that too :bang
thanks, Dave

as much as you dont want to, the cage is really a good idea. i dont think you will be consistent by making the car shift slower. run the car to the max of your setup

You would need to drop both the shift MPH and RPM the MPH may have to be set really low
