Powerband is actually the wrong term to use but whatever.

It's basically the points in the RPM range where the engine makes the most HP. For example if you we're tuning an engine that put out it's best numbers between 5000-5700rpm then you would wan't to adjust the transmission to stay withing that range at all times.

It's actually not a setting you set it's more of a shift point. If it doesn't feel right shift earlier or later.
