Like I said I must me having a stupid moment.....

Anyway my shift rpm vs shift for 3-4 is at 8192. The shift speed vs shift for 3-4 shift is at 255 mph.
my shift rpm vs shift for 3-4 is at 8192 & my shift speed vs shift for 3-4 shift is set at 75 mph.

here's my problem, At WOT it shifts to 4th @ 4600rpm everytime, in other words, I can't take 3rd any farther rpm wise than this 4600rpm because it shifts on me. I'm trying to stay in 3rd longer at WOT, as of right now, the only way I can do that is if I'm in D3.

I think it may be a template problem in the trans file send a E mail to HP Tuners and see if they can fix it

Its just the templates that ls1 edit and HP tuners use to convert there software to read a gm file. I run into this stuff every now and then If it does not look like it should be, check because its most likely not.

Set your shift speed vs shift for 3-4 to 255. See what that does.

email sent, although, I still don't quite get it.

fwiw, I haven't changed these settings.

i always program them for a shift into 4th. the entire trans programming needs to be changed anyway when you start programming. both the stock and radix tune have only mildly acceptable programs for the trans. one of the SS's i've programed has been to about 140 running 4th gear with no problem and with your truck having the 80E there is no reason to not use 4th at wide open. you just need the programming to be correct. if you're using HPT i can help you fix it to be correct.
