Help w/ strange TC/Shift issue with Fuel Sipper tune

[soutthpaw]

Cool we are pretty close on shift points. I went slightly higher on 1-2 cuz I figure you are in first gear such a short time the fuel savings is negligible.. I see you added the Torque Reduction so that will be interesting to try... I am gonna make half a dozen or so similar maps then load them all and try them out..
Oh I just figured out the maps, F6 will show the name of the X and Y parameters now i get it:idea: just went on!

If you go to the toolbar and "view" then "options" you can select how each (maps and functions) are displayed when they are first opened.

I noticed you shifted the values higher... will this change that "more power off idle" effect AKA improved light throttle response??
Did you change any of the other Non-transmission values?
THanks

I don't know what "values" you're talking about. I don't think I touched any engine values....

I realized I was looking at the wrong project it was not the file you sent yeah they are the same now. Just played with the 3D maps and changing groups of values at once... that is really trick... now its making a lot more sense

Just want you two to know - I'm absolutely loving this "back and forth", even though I don't understand half of it. Keep it up guys - it may turn out to be an important addition to the forum!

Thanks, If I think my question will be of benefit to others at some point down the road I try and post it so that it becomes a useful discussion. Otherwise I just ask Bill or whoever directly.... I guess there are only about 10-20 Minotaur packages in use right now so we are a pretty small group, however as it gets more well known and more folks get to read this forum, hopefully we will get more people to "take the plunge" and get the software too. Keep in mind its the same package that can be used for programming the Gassers too. You should download it and just run the demo file. its an older mustang file I believe.. As a moderator I am sure Bill would get ya setup, maybe even send you a diesel file so you can follow along better. it would make more sense then. I can easy post more screen shots too, now I got the Farstone Screen Capture App... Just let me know if you want to see a picture of anything we are discussing and Ill post it up

I guess I could do this, but.... How do I gain the experience that Bill has? I DO know programming, microprocessors, and a tiny bit about internal combustion engines. I doubt this will turn me into an expert tuner!
