So, what do you guys have your shift press set at for a fairly firm shift? ( from 0 as set by Brenspeed). will going down increase firmness? as in -15 or -25 ? (negative is the only option)

If you reduce the pressure your shift will be less firm - depending upon how far you go down your transmission may start to "hunt" for gears. I'm surprised that negative is the only option, unless Brenspeed has it set real firm to start with. And all the parameters will read "0" because you are adjusting up or down from their base tune and to set the car back to the original tune you only need to change the parameters back to "0".

Thanks Jim, I was surprised to see the one way adjust too, maybe I didn't scroll down far enough to bring up the + settings. I'll check that and see.

Haha, My mistake. I scrolled down and found the + adjustments. So I'll try a +10 tomorrow and see what that does then play with the shift RPM's for my driving style. So the "0" is where Brenspeed set it at and no way to know how far they went from the stock setting? as in air/fuel mix ?

Right, the "0" is where they have it set so you are adjusting from your Brenspeed tune - I don't think that there is a way to check to see what they have done from the stock setting, but if someone knows I'm sure that they'll let us know.

Well, I put in the 93 oct. tune and it is great, I don't think I will need to adjust anything. It shifts great like it is.

This is my first post! I have a 2007 V6 with a Steeda Cold Air Intake. I have an automatic trans and SCT-X3 tuner and am wondering what I could do with the Shift Press with my current setup. Or is this only important with manuals? Thanks!

Shift pressure does not apply to a standard. If you do increase firmness (in the + direction) I would not recommend anything above 20 or 25%.
Try 15% and see if that kicks it in the *** when it shifts.

I was just looking at these settings when I loaded my new bama tune. It already has a very firm shift (3rd gear scratches all day long), so I don't want to change the pressure, but it still shifts at 6000 rpm. Would I be safe in raising the shift points a little ? How much ?
