    Those mods and any other performance mods like that wont effect your shift points.The TPS will effect your shift points and also the speed sensor on the gearbox (auto).And finally the valvebody will control the shift points.Changing plugs leads fuel filter exhaust,supercharger or anything like that will only try to help you get there faster but to alter your shift points your would have to modify the valve body/T5 solenoid,TPS adjustment,and also the computer for the auto if present in that model.
