Changing shift points

Does anyone know of a way to change the shift points on an automatic 6.0L power stroke? I know banks makes a trans command for the 7.3 but so far my research shows nothing for a 6.0. I dont want to re gear and was just wondering if there was another way to do it. Thank you

SCT with custom tunes. However, I have to ask why you are wanting to change the shift points.

And what do you mean by change the shift points? Some people take that to mean the speed when it shifts, some people mean the firmness of the shifts.

Why do you want to do that versus re-gearing the truck?

That requires a programmer. On the 4R100 a Banks Transcommand could not change the RPM that the shift happened, it just made all the shifts firmer.

I was explained that it could alter shift points in the transmission but maybe i was misinformed. It's not a huge deal just something that I was looking into it seemed to be much cheaper than regearing thats why I was interested.
