Bain, I think you are crazy as well. I like the higher shifts. If you don't want the higher shifts, which get you into the proper power range for your next gear, then run the mileage tune or something. Just so long as the shift range on the perfomance tunes remains the same.
I have had those symptoms a few times on the 87 octane tune, Studly. Going up hill, truck shifted up too quickly, bogged down in third and then I have had to push the throttle right down to the floor before it would shift down. It doesn't do it all of the time, though.

 

I love my shifts with the 91 tune. I'm not asking to change it.

1-2 is around 2400 rpm
2-3 2200

Are yours different?
This is under rather light acceleration, NOT on a hill.

 

I agree that it isn't tuned solely for power, and that later shifts would make more power. All I meant to get across is that the 91 tune works well for my daily commute as it is.

 

Yeah, Sleds mine doesn't do it all the time either and mostly just noticeable on those hills. If I lived in the mountains I'd be ticked. Stock shifts the same way but without those firmer shifts it handles the sluggishness better.

Eric, I totally agree with you. It should keep you near the power band or atleast near it. That's what I told the Superchips guy too. A 1k+ rpm is a lot to make up when not in that power.

If you use the "throttle %" under Engine I think it'll show you how much you're using(there are 2 diff throttle readouts...use the one that reads 0 when not moving). I drove watching it in stock and 91 tune and found that in light throttle I operate 8-15% stock and 15-25% on 91. If interested try yours and see if you use less in stock or closer to the same.

 

Eric, back to full RPM at WOT shift with new gas?
