This following shift points were recommended on this forum in a previous post - I saved the text but cannot find the post using the search function - take them for what their worth...

1-2 38
2-3 73
3-4 119

2-1 33
3-2 69
4-3 115

RPM
1-2 6000
2-3 5900
3-4 5900


The PCM must meet both conditions of RPM and MPH before the WOT shift.

Again this is only for WOT. The part throttle tuning has a little more complex shift table"

I have the opinion that tranny settings are really a thing of feel. You would be better off just making some small changes and see if you like the change or need to go further.
Like the post above said, both conditions need to be met but you can change either condition to move your shift point. Example, you can use mph for your 1-2 shift instead of rpm so that convertor flash doesn't come into play then you can use rpm for the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts so that tire swell doesn't come into play. Just examples but you see what I mean.

really ???

I've read numerous places that the C5 PCM shifts on which ever one (MPH or RPM) it reaches first.

No, both conditions have to be met. You can change only 1 of the conditions to move the shift point but you want to keep them fairly close or you'll "hunt" for a shift.

I got your email, thanks. I actually sent two emails - you can ignore the second one as I will check into the Carputing site you mentioned in your post.
