Desired shift points (with videos)

Loaded 91 octane tune (Steeda CAI with insert) from James. Acceleration is much faster than stock and steeda tunes. However, I am not sure if the shift is still harsh. When shift was harsh using steeda and stock tunes, I felt like being pulled from behind then return to normal speed when changing gears. With the tune from James, I felt like being first pulled from behind slightly then pushed forward slightly when changing gears. How does it feel when shift is normal? I haven't driven many cars and there are no experienced drivers I can ask.

These two videos were taken after loading the tune from James. One is normal acceleration, and the other is WOT. RPM seems to be higher than stock settings when shifting. What's you guys opinion on the shift points?

hmm, shifting seems fine, what i would be scared is the 2nd shift at almost 7k rpms, you should talk to james about it...

Also you have to know that you have a 6f35 tranny and it has been known to be a problem child...

How is throttle response at normal driving conditions compared to before the tune?

Throttle response is better than stock and Steeda tunes.
I posted the videos on bobistheoilguy.com http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forum...92/Re:_Desired_shift_points_(with#Post3706192
Several people said that shift RPMs for normal acceleration are a little too high, and shift is not crisp.
Do all Fusions shift at around 3000 RPM for city driving? I was told that other cars usually shift at 1500 to 2500 RPM. Not sure if this caused the problems of 6f35.
