Incidently, Factory Tech recommends that no electronic shift modifiers be used with the valve body. They recommend that any tuner used should be set up for no trans shift alterations. You should ask people on the forum who have experience with both combined what happens.
Mine shifts quick and hard enough that I would not want any line pressure mods by electronic commands beyond stock. But then, my engine is still stock, so things may change when I have modded the engine.
As for the torque converter - I would like to change mine, but I see no point in doing so unless I have to. Besides, if I end up with a broken tranny and a HUGE repair bill, I'll probably jump ship and convert it to a 6-speed manual.

Not an easy project by any means, but doable.

Does anyone know if any of the electric modules lock the T/C at lower speeds? I do a fair amount of driving that is under 45, would be nice to know that the T/C is locked. I know all about doing the a switch mod but would rather not have to worry about it since my wife does a fair amount of the driving as well.
