I keep mine on level 3 (93 perf) pretty much all the time so the go is always there if I want it. However, I do also like to get decent gas mileage the rest of the time. I set my converter lock points and 3-4 shift point -8 I believe. This lets me get into 4th with the TC locked when I am just putting around town at about 40. Like that the avg. econ. shows 19-23 but it screams when I mash the skinny pedal if I want to get around people. Before I did this it would be in fourth but the converter would be unlocked and the avg. econ. would show about 15. I like it and it seems like its the best of both worlds.
Thanks!

Kinda weird thing happend today. I changed the wot fuel setting one point
Factory setting was 1.3 so I went to 1.4..this is a 99 F150 4x4 with a 5.4 triton motor.
After the edge was done I started it up. and the idle was horrible....ran like crap..really LUMPY. I shut it down fast. and reset it to normal level 2 (non custom)...never do that again. scared the crap out of me.

I think for my shift firmness it's very similar to Bluejay's. Maybe +8 +8 +4. that could be wrong but I think that's what I use. Don't remember for regular shift firmness. I think I was happy with the way Bill tuned it. The shift firmness is really up to everyone individually.

I was getting around 16 or so overall. That is with a fair amount of highway and a lot of flat roads. I did this mainly because the majority of my in town driving was at 40 mph. If I drove around at 40 the TC was always locking and unlocking which i did not care for. Changing that moved the TC lock point to around 32 or so which was much better for me personally.

Bluejay has said he DID increase the firmness BEFORE he got custom tunes, but left it alone after getting his tunes. I did the same.
Like you, black, I reduced my part throttle shift and TC lock/unlock points to get the truck into overdrive quicker - Tucson city speeds are generally 40-45 mph and of course everyone drives faster.
