Default Going to the track tonight need tuning help

My car was hitting the stall wall and hitting the limiter on the 1>2 shift then my tuner adjusted it and its shifting at 6k. I need it to shift at 65-68 to stay in my powerband for my new cam. I think he adjusted a map table but not 100% sure. Ill have my laptop cable and tunerpro with me to tinker with it while im there. Im gonna make a run at 6k just to make sure all it good then adjust it there while its cooling off. Thanks in advance.

Just tune the shift points. Pretty simple. No reason to jump out and go to a TH350.

I would see if the car is making the power first.

Ya im waiting for mo-hp to fix it and he was outa town this week. If it works then i wont but it seems like the shift points are always a pita.

Im gonna data log the car here soon. Check all the plugs ect... i dont have much time with work to screw with it. Im gonna get the aem wideband to check that also. Something is up. I was disapointed in the times but happy at the same time that a motor that me and a friend built at my house (my first motor) blow up now to work out the bugs.
