I'm still messing around with my new Hypertech and I have my 1-2 shift at +5, 2-3 shift at +10, and rev limit at 6200. Anyone know any better points to use than these to get a little more out of it? I plan on ordering a Wait4Me tune by the end of this month but I just want to play with the Hypertech some more first.. Thanks guys!

 

6200???my 01 RPM gauge goes to 6000....can it handle more if its stock? because if so my second gear may run to 98

 

Nah, it doesn't shift at 6200. If you hit 6200 RPMs you hit the "rev limiter" which basically stops you from blowing your **** up. I believe if you hit the limit it shuts the fuel down or something like that, I'm not exactly sure how it goes. After I installed my Hypertech I made a couple of runs and accidently left it in 2nd and it hit the limiter and shut down and then finally kicked back up at around 70 MPH. I have mine raised to the max I can go with my programmer so this doesn't happen if I drive it right..

 

Those are the same settings I have for mine and I've have spent a lot of time playing with it and adjusting it after doing several runs on the g-tech...So those are the best settings I have come up with for drag racing and DD. Mine does hit the 6200 if it is damp out and im goin about 25 and punch it so the tires break loose, then it shifts and keeps 'em spinnin' . It actually shifts at 5900 for 1st and like 5800 or 5700 for 2nd.

 

I think you may have been the guy that told me to use these settings, I've seen a pretty good improvement with it but I'm about ready for a real tune..

 

Yep same here my Mom is getting me a Nelson tune for Christmas

 

Well I held 2nd gear to about 5900rpm and it sounded really loud like it was gonna blow up. If its stock can I hold it to 6000 safely? If so I will because 5900rpm in 2nd took me to 94mph really quick.

 

you should be fine. I take mine up there a couple times a day sometimes and all is well other than a lifter ticking a bit. motor has 128k on it to....just hoping it will pop so I have an excuse to get an lq9....haha....mine sounds good up there too!
