I just sent ya an email with the AE datalog I did this AM.. I even have a video of the instrument cluster on my blackberry but need to convert to play it
had to zip the file up to load it into the thread but at least Bill or anyone else can see it too that way

here is the cut and paste text
I monitored shift solenoid 2 as it shows "0" when in 4th and "1" in 3rd gear.

between about point 72 and 168 can see 2 sections where its got a constant speed and stays in OD but the RPM keeps fluctuating between about 1500 and 1000-1100 caused by the TCC locking and unlocking and the speed is constant around 40-41 mph throttle is running about 23%

Let me know what ya think, had a chance to get this data this am
Thanks DJ

OH I couldn't duplicate the effect in 60, 100 or 140 tunes either....

I am looking forward to our trip to CA later this month so I can see how the tunes feel at sea level... That way I will have a better reference when I get back to the mountains and do some more tuning.... Actually the settings now are pretty good for easy driving.. I have the 100 and 140 on either side of FS position now so Real Power is not far away...

Oh, and while you're at it, I didn't change any of the 4-3 relock parameters in yours....I wanted to see what you thought about it the way it is right now first.

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.

Default Inferred Throttle position

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....
