Pros and Cons
Im thinking about puting a shift kit in my car when i get back from deployment to firm and quicken the shifts. The car is lightly modded with exhaust and a air lid and a handheld programer that was installed on the car before i baught it. Im looking at a few different kits but i need some advice. I dont want to do anything to the transmission that could cause it to prematurally fail. Im also planning on puting a transmission cooler on the car as well at the same time.

In our builds I feel comfortable telling the customer to remove as much as they would like. Keep in mind TM is there to reduce abuse on the drive line when the trans shifts. Basically removing horsepower. This is done with computer tuning. Most tuners will remove it or maybe leave a little in there depending on the combination. Vince

No, a tune is not necessary. Having a tune done and removing TM is actually harder on the trans. Like Vince said, it removes HP while the transmission is shifting. It is suggested to remove the TM by tuning when the transmission has been built, so it can take the extra HP.
