EDITING MY FIRST RESPONSE:
Just checked the Transgo website. There is a potential conflict between the Transgo and the stock PCM programming. Transgo recommends disabling TM to avoid this conflict.
So, yes, you should tune the PCM.

I have a 4000 stall and a shift kit without a tune right now. I ran the shift kit for a year without tuning and had no problems that I know of. I am scheduled to tune next week though and with that stall I recommend it. Also don't hold back on the washers when putting in the shift kit because after the stall the rough shifts tend to dissapear.
