Default Torque converter tuning

What exactly do I need to get tuned for my new 3500 torque converter? It will be a daily driver and no track time. What happens if it's not tuned?

You probably hit the rev limiter, from the RPM going too
high for the MPH due to more converter slip.

You get aggravated by the constant locking / unlocking
at 30MPH around town in 3rd.

You perhaps get annoying misfire SES & converter unlock,
perhaps tranny slip codes.

None of it that harmful, but all of it aggravating. CAM
ought to be able to update you without it being a big
deal, if that's all that changed.

Put a big-*** cooler on there, as your next mini-project.

I did not tune mine, but I did install a trans cooler. I plan on installing a B&M deep transmission pan soon, also maybe a shift kit later. You should be all right without a tune.
