Well it doesnt no matter how much I fiddle with my shift settings why? Racing someone from a roll and downshifting sucks!

Mine will downshift 3-2 at anything below 80 and I have 3.42s.
Has to be some kind of settings problem. Like make sure your
upshift row in the table isn't giving it a conflicting command,
etc.

Predator touches WOT and seems to slightly bend the
part-throttle profile (in my experience, 4 years or more
since I used the one I've got) but it does not fix the
stupid factory no-kickdown-until-full-WOT part throttle
profile.

Use the Pred to view TPS and be sure you are seeing
at least 95% indicated or you may not even get to
use the WOT settings.

Nothing like having an abrupt, arbitrary switch between
lug with no torque, and more than you can hook up as
your only two options on the street.

sounds like your 3-2 downshift solenoid isnt working. this is a dedicated solenoid for the 3-2 downshift scan your car for codes.
