Kyle, I have no idea what the software looks like for LMS but since they claim they can do things that other software can't do I'm guessing this will be easy for them...I don't mind helping the community even though this is proprietary information I'm about to give out that I've given a few popular tuners out there. So this is an AJP special freebie.
You need to set "pedal position to command kickdown in SST mode" to 1024
It's in the trans or trans shifting section, I can't remember
That's in SCT software. You will have to ask LMS if there is any such scalar, I don't know
It's not the RPM that caused it to downshift on you....When you nail the throttle in sport mode the throttle counts go up. Stock for that scalar is set to about 500 and when you exceed that it will command a downshift....When you set it to what I said, you effectively never hit the throttle counts to command a downshift...If you were at 2000 rpm and roll on the throttle sometimes that keeps throttle counts low enough to not downshift.
But you have to be in SST not just S mode....So select S mode then tap a paddle to get it in manual mode...That's sst mode...If you change the scalar to what I said but only put it in S mode and floor it, it will still downshift
I love having it this way because when I go manual I can floor it and really feel the low end and midrange without getting a balls to the walls redline downshift
