Hypertech programmer

I have a Hypertech "Max Energy" programmer for my 2005 Chev. Silverado. I am wondering what the best settings would be for adjusting the shift points. What would be the best setting for fuel economy?
I have made some changes with the programmer and have seen a significant increase to my mpg, but am still questioning whether the shift points would make a difference.

I know increasing the shift firmness, the tranny temp should stay cooler.

Hey Gmags,
I'm looking for some help with my hypertech programming. I'm not sure what changes to make, or just leave all settings as stock. Will that make an mpg change? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks

That would be the best setting for fuel economy
