I played with the figures and this is what I came up with, pity I don't know what the supercips shift points are
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?...thkey=CJ7GmLYK

This is very smooth but with more "Kick".
Most of the difference is at low to mid RPM.
I have also seen that when I am cruising around town I am under 10 TP% but when I in a bit of an hurry it goes above 20 TP%.
I still need to do some work on the kick back but dont want it to wonder too much

Any comments and tips would be appreciated

Read all the Ram Hemi and Commander posts on the Net.

Will start with the Superchips settings to get a feel for it and then work from there

Thanks a lot Danny. I'll give a try, hopefully it'll do the trick like it did for you.

New version V1.3 See version control

V1.3 -Re-worked down shifts and increased first 4 of the MPH's for each up shift for more "kick" - used it for an 80 mile trip with some rolling hills and it was sweet

Need to understand the works of the auto box, I am not sure what the torque converter does as I get a 500rpm up sometimes without the flashpaq showing that a shift had taken place Never seen this with Stock setup.

I am not really understanding what I am looking at here, what is TP%. I am sure this is a fairly stupid question but it's just not coming to me.

Since I can't seem to get the Shift Schedule option on the Flashpaq to work (Rev Limiter = option unavailable) your spreadsheet doesn't do me much good, but it's very pretty. Now if I only know how to read it, it's making me feel dumber than a Chrysler engineer.

TP% is typically Throttle Position Percentage.

OK, thanks, I will have another look and see what light that sheds on those figures.

Thanks guys.
I think it was answered but cannot remember the response. Anyone know the answer???

These should make the advantages pretty self explanatory. Of course there are other things such as calibrating for gears and tires, off road throttle adjustment and other items.

Most GPS will show your speed of travel.
