Default Another Powerloader Question

I just got my Powerloader back from TTS after I sent it back to be reprogramed for a converter and 3.42s. For some reason my car is now shifting at a little over 5500 RPM
instead of the 6000 RPM it was shifting at previously. Can I use a Hypertech to make the shift points higher without disturbing the rest of Powerloader Program? I really don't want to send the Powerloader back again since it just took me 5 months to get it back.

98 A4 Metalic Purple
Powerloaded
172 t.stat
Donaldson Blackwing
Pro Torque 2400
3.42 gears

:confused:

It sounds like your shift points were not raised. I don't think the HPP3 (or any other programmer for that matter) writes only selective parts of the data segment.

Did you say 5 months?
Does someone have a customer service problem, or other problems?

Just can´t believe it, buy a powerloader, wait 5 month and try to fix the it with a hypertech.
For me another reason not to order a poweroader :mad
