Exclamation Problem with Level 2?????????

i have an 05 with 5.4, and a just got the edge for it to regear and to adjust for my new tire size, anywho i just customed tuned level 2 to : Level 2 Tow running 87octane
Timing +1
WOT Shift 1-2=5200 2-3=5200 3-4=4800
Shift Firmness 1-2=+4 2-3=+4 3-4=+2
Rev Limit 5400
WOT Fuel 1.5
Top Speed 110
Gear 3.73
Tire Size 2649mm (measured for 305/55/20s) (rounded off)

whenever im stopped and get going under 10mph, it "stutters" in to gear, im not sure if it is just relearning my driving habits, or should i change something???????

First off dont bump your timing up 1 with 87 octane.Secondly yes everytime i retune mine at level 2 it shifts funny for the first day or two and then it goes away after it relearns things.

First off you're probably doing major (well not major but its not good) damage to your engine running timing up while running 87 octane. You might want to reread the manual there. Timing should be set at 0 while running 87.

Adjust your timing correctly then let us know if your still experiencing problems.

Don't mess with idle rpms unless you want you want your truck to idle higher.

Shift firmness are personal preference.

Also with your shift points set at 200 below your Rev limit you might experience your truck bouncing off of the rev limiter before it shifts. I'm not sure what the best settings are but you can search around here and find the best settings to use.

Well that completely depends. I bump my timing up +1 on 87 octane, but I live at 5300 ft in elevation. One can run a higher timing and a leaner mix without detonation when at higher altitudes, and the rule of thumb is about +1 degree for every 2500 ft in elevation (but I'm only going up +.5 degrees for each 2500 ft)
