Your first instinct when tuning is to set everything on kill--y'know: Do your best Michael Schumacher impersonation. The you tend to go back and make the shifts only as hard as they need to be.

WOT 1-2 shift: Lightning quick
Part throttle 2-3 shift: Softer

Think in terms of having full control over throttle position, rpm and wheel speed as opposed to taking whatever your trans shop gives you with a pre-electronic "shift kit" Much like comparing jets in a carburetor to a digital fuel injection map.
