Transmission tuning

I am currently running a bulletproofed 6.0 on the canned tunes with the bully dog gt diesel for daily driving and towing. (I almost never run it in the hot tunes). is there any Benefit when I’m tuning the transmission to have firm shifting?

if someone could give me some advice on this that would be great thanks.

I would have custom SCT tunes loaded that also tune the transmission if you are running the Bully Dog. The benefits of tuning the transmission are that you can mitigate the chances of roasting your transmission. Much firmer shifts to handle the increased power. Innovative Diesel has tunes that can work with the bully dog to tune the transmission. They'll also revise your tunes based on your feedback if you are getting a 3-5 flare or anything.
