Default Shift Points after converter and gears

I just had a 3200 Vig, Transgo, cooler and 3:42 gears installed. I had LS1 Edit tuning done (sponsor to remain unnamed) and they deleted the torque management, changed shift points, cooling fans etc.

However, I do not think they got the shift points right. The car "bogs" real bad when driving around town in traffic as it wants to either shift into OD too quick or lockup. Any suggestions on shift points?

Also, any suggestions for an idle? Because after the tuning my car is now "hunting" for an idle which I understand to partly normal with a smaller converter, but was not sure if anyone might have a cure.

Thank you for any help.

idle should be pretty steady if you dont have a big cam. i get a little surging (working on it) with the 112 lsa cam when not up to temps.

Thanks. They already agreed to retune it, but I was hoping that with some help from here that I could give them some better data to work with.

Thanks
