Since Superchips aren't really forthcoming with technical information......I'd be giving them a call and ask them if their programs do anything with the TC. You can also go up on their site, and email them......it may be quicker than setting on "forget" on the phone.
I questioned them via email concerning their shift pressures before I put my TransGo Tugger kit in.........the only answer I got was: We aren't familure with your particular kit.......but our programs will add to whatever pressures your kit produces. I went ahead and installed the kit......had no adverse results. My own feeling is that the Superchips programs are more on the safe side than other vendors. I don't know if they go beyond stock specs for the TC lock........my gut feel is they don't. Hope this helps.
