Looks like you've got it set at the rpm limits in 1st and top speed is about it too with a "canned tuner". What gear ratio do you have?

This is really dependent on your engine and transmission (what does the torque curve look like above 5000 rpm?). You need to leave room at the top end (WOT) to prevent the torque converter from ballooning.

I would consult my tuner manufacturer or custom tuner.

I've got mine set at 5600 RPM's in first and second and 5400 RPM's for third. I don't think I've got that high in third gear though but it does right at 100 in second gear. Bump up your shift firmness, mine is and I love it.
