    First you want a baseline log, so you know what kind
    of changes result. You should log Delivered Torque - Engine
    and Delivered Torque - Trans as well as the usual RPM, MPH,
    TPS, spark advance, spark retard.

    On this shakedown log you will probably see timing slam
    to -10 and delivered torque drop to near zero.

    After this, go and edit up the Torque Reduction vs Torque
    vs Shift table. Cut all of the reduction values in half (for
    starters). Go for another logging run.

    Observe the engine torque cut (the trans is kind of
    questionable in my book) across the shifts. Low,
    middle and high throttle. The trans torque right
    before shift is what's used as the TRTS table. The
    engine torque though is what you want to watch for
    results. How low does it swing across the shift and
    how much timing dip? The timing retard should match
    what's in the table as pointed to by the trans torque.

    If you're still getting too much cut then reduce the
    TRTS table some more. If you're happy in spots but
    see too much in others, then follow the trans torque
    index and just massage that local area.

    This is going to be iterative and individualized as the
    hardware and the built in trans torque model push
    the trans torque reading around. Just have to cut
    and try.

    Arent there more than just tranny TM tables that can be zeroed out if you want it all gone? I zeroed out all of the TM tables in the engine TM along with the tranny TM tables. oh, btw, I think the max line pressure they let you tune for is 90, you just have to trial and error it until shifts are perfect for you, if your not running boost or extremely high power levels and beat the crap out of it you can run as much line pressure and TM as you want.
