why are there two values for 100% request in seperate columns?

THat table is just about the opposite of the other table. I was hoping the help file would give more info like maybe why it's there, but it was no help. I couldn't tell ya why, but on a stock tune, that table, and the one directly below it in the screenshot go hand in hand with the values. I couldn't tell ya why though ...

FLYER if I ever meet up with you I'm buying you some cold beer.
Just keep track on how many I owe you.
Thanks for the help.

Shift time ... the best I can tell what it does is define the amount of time a shift should happen in. I think maybe to account for rev limiters. For example ... I have my shift points set at 6500, and the rev limiter at 6700, and shift times at .200, if the PCM thinks the engine is accelerating to quickly (will rise more than 200 rpm in .200 seconds) it will start taking steps to cut fuel or close the throttle blade because the PCM is under the assumption that the engine is going to hit the rev limiter before the shift completes. If not for this, I don't think that table has any affect.

900, not a problem! That's what we're all here for.

Looks like my HPPIII bin is running lean some of my LTFT are +9 going to load stock bin and look at LTFT if they are better I will start my tune with stock bin.
Figured out how to change shift RPM and with the help of Flyer reduced TM.
I have been to HPTuner forum, lots of questions, hard to find the answers.
Will take some time but I will learn. Thanks to all the people helping me here.
Mabe a HPTuner thread on LS1Tech would be a good thing. Would help people
that bought HPTuner and might make more sales for HPTuner.
