more tuning BS.... need help!
ok... I am about to order my tune from W4M tomorrow. I need to know what you guys think that I should ask him to do exactly... I will put up what I had originally thought and you guys let me know from there.... I am as lost as a goose in a blizzard 
.... This is what I originally thought:
remove all abuse modes
remove 80% TM in normal and 100% in tow/haul
1-2 shift @ 6200
2-3 shift @ 6100
3-4 shift @ 6000
89 octane tune (because I dont ALWAYS run premium)
leave stock line pressures
minimal timing advance
change for tire size 255/55-18
mods so far:
intake, true dual exhaust (needs to be redone), HD2 shift kit, vette servo, alum 1-2 accumulator piston, hardened sep plate, HSW adjustable wet N2O shot (75-150), purge, heater, taylor plug wires, NGK plugs ...
Thats about all I can remember right, there may be a few other insignificant things... Its my DD and will see the occasional pass on the track as well as some light to light time. what do you guys think about those settings?
-also... where should I set my window switch at based on this.

I think your shift points are a little high??? I think he had mine when I was just bolt ons - 1-2 5800 and 2-3 5900. step it up and do the 93oct tune...

Why the different shift points? why not 6000 across the board? Also go ahead and step up to premium all the time, its what an extra $2.50 per tank if you run it on fumes, and you can get a bit more agressive with the timing on the higher octane tables.

true true... It just feels like it has so much more left after the stock shift points. I will go with 6000 all the way across and see how that does, and the 93 tune. what about the window switch? I know there will be some tuning involved but what would you say would be a good baseline?...
