WOT shift 1-2=5300, 2-3=5300, 3-4=4800
Firmness 1-2=+8, 2-3=+8, 3-4=+5
Rev Lim 5450
Speed 110
Gears 3.55
Tires 2445 (measured, way off what the manual said for 265/70R17)
Timing +1.5 (I'm at 6000 ft running 87 oct, so you may not want to use this)
WOT 1.6
This appears to be a pretty driveable tune, although I may bump down the WOT shift for the 1-3 points, it seems to scream a little too much .

WOT shift 1-2=5250, 2-3=5250, 3-4=4850
Firmness 1-3=+4, 3-4=+3
Rev Lim 5400
timing +1.5 (again at 6,000 ft running 87. adjust yours accordingly)
WOT 1.5 (the air is thin here)
Even though this thread kind of died I'm posting it as a reference for others in the 97-03 group to have a reference

If you hear detonation back it off, cuz that will cause you problems, as far as WOT fuel alot of people in various locations run 1.6, again mine just felt better at 1.5, personally I would adjust the two of them seperately to make sure you get it right for both. good luck

I like a firm, hard shift.
