so how will the TCM tune work as none of the current tuning suites have all the tcc tables and pressure tables figured out and we have seen many of the aftermarket 6l80e converters fry the tcc clutch in a short time if the tcc tables are not modified,,

example,,, gm 6L80e trans apply's the factory TCC at WOT but yank suggest's No WOT TCC apply for there 6L80e converters?

You will still have to tune to get best performance results as with any converter install.

Does this maybe mean you've got efficiency / torque
curves for the new pieces, like you had for the older
ones (but were not available for the SS series, and
others of that timeframe, as far as I could find)? That
all, I gather, came from some collaboration with GM
back in the day.
