Hypertech Power Programer Help
I need some serious help. I've decided to install the Hypertech Power Programer III in my 2002 A4 C5 w/ 2.73 gears. I also plan on installing the Hypertech 160 degree thermo. What changes do I make to the engine rev limiter? How much of an increase is safe? I also need help regarding the transmission shift point & rpm. I can adjust the 1-2 shift, the 2-3 shift, and the 3-4 shift. How much adjustment should I make for each shift point? I do not race my car on the street or strip. Just what to optimize what I have. I am not very mechanical and, consequently, I'm relying on the experts to help me out. Thank you in advance for your help. Save the wave. :confused:

you can increase rev limit to 6400 with no problems.
shift points are your preferece, BTW this adjustment is for WOT shifts(drag racing) Do a search for shifts... try 1-2 +4 mph, 2-3 +4, 3-4 +4, I think each mph is 200 rpm.... set shift firmness to 75 or 100%

I had my rev limiter upto 6500 no probs, this way I wasn't risking bouncing off of it when shifting. As stated my 1-2 shift I think I got best results from upping it 3 MPH. the 2-3 Shift I upped 5 I think, I wanted to get them shiffting at 6k or slightly above. shift firmness is only for your feel, sometimes I liked it, others I didn't. problem is it is always there even at slow speeds. :seeya :chevy
