Yes, it will replace weak stock parts with better ones and that is something that a computer tune will never accomplish.

your not putting a "shift kit" in with your tune are you? all that does is increase line pressure.

i had a shift kit put in and recently had my TM 50% deleted in prep for a stall, and it make a big difference.

If you have a shift kit installed you may need to have your custom tune adjusted. After I had mine installed the shifts were much firmer and seemed slightly jerky, I had the shift points adjusted in the tuning and it was much better.
