Default A4 tuning help

I have a buddy with a 2001 SS and we are working on the tuning of it. I usually just tune 3.8s so this is a bit different for me.

What settings are you a4 guys using for your cars?

Anything else that is good to do for a simple tune to a 01 SS to help the slight bogs when down shifting 3-2 and such like on the highways when racing ricers?

I attached the stock tune and a tune that I started. If you guys could help us out that would be great. Thanks!

oh yea, one more thing. On the scans it is showing up that he is hitting 81% throttle position when he feels he has it to the floor. Any way to fix this reading to show 100% like it should?

I did a short writeup on how I've always done Gen3 tranny shift point tuning on our forum http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8996

As for the TPS thats just weird. I would check to make sure his throttle is actually opening 100% before you go changing things.

yea we checked the floormat as well to see if it was jambed under and preventing him from 100%, that wasn't happening either

yeah I've seen the floormat issue, as well as just slack in the cable that has cause the TPS to only show 91-93%.
