if you're stock valvetrain... i would bump the rev limiter up much... maybe 100RPM max
shift firmness is a personal preference... (so long as you don't have a shift kit already, if you do don't touch that) ... I used to run 100% on mine
Shift points... what are you shifting at now? (1-2, 2-3) (RPM wise) ... remember the stock tach is way off... it's best to log the car and see what RPM it's shifting at and then bump it up...
Any other mods? Depending on mods the power programming can range from ... may give you a tenth to may take away several tenths... what kinda 1/4 mile times u running right now? (ET and MPH)

another question is should i use the power tuning of the hypertech? i bought it cause i will be getting 373 gears,, and iam curious if the power tuning is worth doing? my car is pretty much stock only mods i have is the slp y pipe, slp loudmouth exhaust, slp air lid, slp bellows, should i use the power tuning? ive heard that many people lost power and this makes the car run lean? any experiences with it? also what shift points would be good for 373 gears?

Best bet w/the power tuning is to try it at the track... so you can see if you're losing power... I know more that have lost power than gained power with it though.... (it basically slightly adjusts your timing tables, and leans you out... if your car runs lean from the factory this additional leaning can become slightly dangerous)
