David426,
Thanks so much for posting this info:
Rev limiter at 6400 rpm Shift points based on Axle Ratio 3.15:1
1-2 shift +2 = 6242 rpms
2-3 shift +3 = 6195 rpms
3-4 shift +3 = 6120 rpms
But I was wondering, do you have a 6sp or A4? I should be getting delivery soon of my programmer and just trying to map things out first.
Thanks in advance.

I spoke with the Hypertech tech guy whom told me to make the rev limiter one higher than the shift point; sounds reasonable. My question is: If I am not racing the 1/4 mile, is there any real benefit to adjusting these settings? And is it wise to lower my cooling fan temps? Stock configurations are: Fan 1 on/off at: 227°F/218 °F Fan 2 on/off at: 235 °F/228 °F. I know the benefit of a cooler combustion chamber, so I'm thinking of lower these to the recommended 195 °, that will turn Fan1 on/off at: 209/200 °F and Fan2 at 219/210 °F.
The Hypertech guy said the programmer was designed so any selection offered could not hurt my engine. That sounds good, but I'm sure the onus is on me to make the right decision, so any advice based on experience will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
