You can crank your shift pressure. This will make it shift fimmer and faster. But you crank it to much and your tranny wont last long. Hence why i tend to favor the 5spd's. LOL If i want it in a gear i put it there and have power for as long as i want.

OP - set yer Rev limiter to 6,000 rpm. Keep the truck out of O/D.

Be advised that your tires are NOT speed rated, so if one lets go... it's your fault. You have been warned.

BTW - yer WOT shift points are a tad low - 1>2=5400, 2>3=5300, 3>4=4800.

Reason - you need the slightly higher rpm so the shifts land in the power band, next gear up.

ok well i am worried bout blowing up the engine that seems a little high to me when do these trucks redline. i had them set at 1-2(5250)2-3(5250)
3-4(4800) and it got really loud on 1-2and 2-3 so i put them down to 5000 on both and left the 4800 alone i was scared it was reving too high

Engine itself is good to ~ 5,800-6,000 although in stock trim, with factory tuning, there is little benefit to be had there. It's the torque converter that does not like anything above 5,400 or so. Safe to leave it @ 5,400.

Loud how - exhaust, intake or what? Do not expect quiet at those revs.

Time for you to use the Search function and gain further insight.
