doing 100k's and pressing the button will do nothing. the revs shouldnt increase with the TC locked up.

all the power button does is change the shift points to cause it to hold gear until about 900 revs later than it would have done for a given % throttle opened on the TPS.

If he wants to find out if its changed the shift points, do two runs from 0-100 with the accelerator pushed about 50% down equally on both runs. If it holds gear longer on one and not the other, its changed modes.
