Hypertech Questions I just recently purchased a hypertech power programmer 3 for my 98 formula. The car has 90k miles and is my daily driver. I'm running long tubes, off-road y-pipe, cat-back, k&n FIPK and shift kit. I'm looking for some performance but longevity is still important.
1. Is it safe to raise the rev limiter, if so then by how much?
2. What are some good shift points?
3. I have a mechanical shift kit, so should I leave the shift firmness alone? The book says to leave the firmness alone but I want to know what you guys think.

2) You decide, you're the one driving
3) Again, personal preference, do you feel that it shifts snappy enough? More line pressure = more wear and tear
