Do I need a re-tune?

Had my dyno tune at lethal in SA a while back. Soon after my trans went out.
So I got a built 4l60E with a 3800 stall goin In over the weekend, and wanted to know if this will require a retune, or is it fine to run like this?

Im planning on running pretty soon at an event in my area...

Thx in advance.

I would have them retune it cuz the converter change will affect how it shifts as well as any shift kit they installed. We dialed mine in with hp tuners while out beatin on it.

I would get it tuned, because that way you can have the shift points adjusted, line pressure, etc., it will definitely maximize your gains. I wouldn't romp on it too hard either if you don't plan on getting it tuned because I've heard that can send the transmission into limp mode pretty much.
