Your question has no easy answer, because there are really three components to shifting. Bill talked about two of them in detail here:
http://dygytalworld.ehost-services13...40&postcount=2
The third component, that he called "slip" is the "Shift Firmness" component and it's simply the time delay between clutch release and clutch engagement during a shift. The Custom Options menu lets you adjust this as a percentage change to what already is in place for that shift - the "zero" point. So, if the built in "zero point" delay for a shift was 450 milliseconds, then +14 would reduce it to 387 milliseconds.
Both the canned and custom tunes have already decreased the delay that was built in to the stock shifts. And, they have altered the torque reduction and line pressures.
I personally feel that unless you are an expert transmission engineer, you should approach altering "Shift Firmness" with a bit of respect. We have to trust that Bill knows what he's doing and we'd better have a very good reason to undo anything he's set up.
However, I was more concerned about the WOT shift points in the OP's post than the Firmness settings. To get the transmission to complete the shift, he'd need the MAX rpm set WAY up! While we don't have a specific "redline" engine speed on these trucks, pushing it about 1000 above stock seems somewhat excessive.
