Need HPTuner help, quick! I just got HP Tuners and have a major learning curve ahead of me, I have very little knowledge of EFI systems. All of these numbers and values make my head spin 
. First, are there any publications out there to help me learn what these values mean? Second, I tried to raise my shift points, but I can't get it to take, wtf? 
. I changed the WOT shift speed vs. shift and WOT shift RPM vs. shift two times but I still shift at the same RPM. Please help!

Please help!BTW, Make sure your speed matches your shift point RPM that you want to be shifting at. If you reach your speed first it will shift before the RPM is reached.

Thanks for the help, I figured it out 
. I'm running in the GM EFI series race tomorrow at English Town 
, I hope I pick up something with the change. The car was shifting at 6100 before. With the LS6 I'm sure I was losing something.

(RPM, MPH) is satisfied. If your MPH is too high you
will not upshift before you hit the rev limiter.

I don't zero it out, but I follow that principle.
Set the MPH Thresholds to well below your desired shift point. Then, just use the RPM thresholds to fine-tune where you actually shift.
BOTH thresholds must be met for the shift to occur (assuming there is nothing wrong).

Shifting only occurs after both shift flags have been met......MPH and RPM.
This is way that I always did it.
1st Gear: Shift flag on MPH because converter flash our of the hole can goof up the RPM shifting.
2nd Gear: Shift flag on RPM. More accurate and tire expansion can goof up your MPH calc
3rd Gear: Shift flag on RPM. Same reason as 2nd.
