Default Best shift tune

Been thinking about changing my shift points with my X-Cal2, but not sure what would be the best setup. What are some of you guys using and which have you found to be the best? I don't really want a "hard" shift, but a little more firm would be nice.

Yea there are only 2 stations around here with 93.....Yes I noticed a power gain. Was worth the 400 bucks. No big deal, I'm sure someone will answer eventually....I hope anyway.

Ok, I can't speak for the SCT, but I do have the Diablo. I set my rev limiter at 6250RPM. I set my shift points at the same. I set my shift pressure at 80% across the board. When I go to WOT and she shifts from 1st to 2nd, she lays out a mean bark. If I don't want her to bark second, I let up slightly on the throttle just before she shifts.
