Default superchip 3815 - best 1-2 WOT rpm shift point

you know how you can mod the setting on the 91 performance tune. well whats the best setting for 1-2 WOT shift and 2-3WOT shift (rpm) i tried 6100rpm but there was a small delay in the shift (1-2) , kinda like pushing in the clutch in a 5speed -- it doesnt delay at like 5900 rpm -- anyway whats the peak rpm for the best shift? thanks

I was actually thinking about this this morning, just got my Superchips. Look at the Hemi torque curve:

It seems to me that the best point to shift might actually be way down at 5000 rpm. beyond that you lose torque, so why go any higher unless you want to limit the number of shifts. but this thing has such a damn nice torque curve that you could shift into 3rd at 2500-3000 and still be right on the torque.

5000 rpm for the win

I can't help with 1st gear but I picked up a repeatable .15 reduction in ET by holding 2nd till 6k rpm.

Of course, with an 03 I have to manually shift it - we don't get adjustable shift points.
