programmer Question

So i have an ATS programmer and my question is. When i go to program my tune it asks if i want to adjust some options. so when i click on it it has WOT1-2,2-3,3-4 if i click on any one or those it shows that its set on 0 but it allows me to change it anywhere from -7mph to +7mph. What does this do ? Also have an adjustment called shift press and its sort of the same set up but it shows what percent i want with each gear change. Does any one know what this stuff is or where i can go to find out.


Thanks

Yep, here's my idea.

The -7 and +7 allow the programmer to make changes in the shift speed at the top end...these values are likely to be MPH. So if your stock truck shifts at 65 MPH at a certain accelerator pedal position, it could be changed to anywhere between 58 or 72 MPH (in actuality, you'll get a change but nothing that exact).


The shift pressure will allow you to firm up your shifts to your liking. 0% will be the stock setting and going higher will command a higher transmission pressure during a shift and make it occur more quickly (firmer).
