Default Hypertech help please!!

Okay I know this "tuner" sucks but I have to wait a month to get a real tune so since I have this (hypertech) I might as well put it to use. I really need to know what to adjust my shift points at and rev limiter. As well as eveything else. Thanks!

not what you are wanting to hear... but if you'll be getting a "real" tune in 30 days, I wouldn't use any handheld device. Professional tuners prefer a factory stock PCM program to work with.

replied to your other post. if your car is stock changing shift points helps you out none. they are optimized for the factory power band
