How would you go about doing it? I think the jet chips alter the sift points slightly so it revs a little higher before shifting. I have a chip but mine is a manual so I can't say from experience, but I think derrick said they change the shifting a little.

go to a tune shop.

you'd actually get better acceleration if u had it shift sooner...lol...cause the truck didn't do much acceleration in the last few seconds of seond gear at wot.

It sounds like your friend would be the best person to talk to about it, and if he can do it you could always experiment with different shift points.
