need some help

im sorry for all the questions if someone could answer them i would appriciate it. for right now with my cold air intake and exhaust im running level 2 until i get my customs but whats some safe custom settings that i could mess with. like shift firmness, WOT shift points, and standard shift points. i kinda messed around with standard shift points but i really didnt know what i was doing im just trying to extend the shifts a little bit so the O/D dont shift until like 50 so i bump 1-2,2-3,3-4 up a couple numbers is that ok and whats some safe numbers for downshifting 4-3,3-2,2-1. and one last thing when my trucks warmed up its ideling around 600 is that right or should it be higher if it should be higher what number do i hit. sorry this is the last question i sware when i change custom settings and load level 2 and its complete if i dont like the settings i changed do i have to return the truck back to stock and then redo all the settings and load level 2 or can i go back to power programming click on level 2 and redo it

I wouldn't move the WOT 1-2, 2-3 shifts above 5000. You are in the backside of the torque/hp curves at that point. Leave the 3-4 WOT shift lower. Mines at 4400. To complete a WOT shift properly, max RPM needs to be about 400 above the shift, so 5400 there.

You can add the maximum numbers to the part throttle upshifts and downshifts. I think they are +2, +3 and +5. This is just going to delay those shifts by that many mph, no big deal. Has no effect on WOT shifts.

600 is fine for the idle. You might consider raising it some if you install underdrive pulleys to maintain charging voltage at idle.

You DO NOT have to return to stock when you adjust Custom Options, just reselect the tune level you want. But: scroll to and select "Reload Previous Settings" just as soon as you open the Custom Options menu! This quickly puts all the options you had before back in, and it insures your Tire Size and Gear Ratio are correct. From there, you can make changes to any of the options.

Sorry, Scout - I can't understand a thing you are asking. You say you have custom tunes but something is telling you the tire size is incorrect? What would that be? Who did your tunes? The fact that you have 22" wheels means nothing unless you drive on the rims, what are the tires? Do you have one what? If the ratio you are talking about is gear ratio, you make sure the setting matches what you have.

That's about the best I can do until you learn to ask questions more clearly.
