IMO go with the Suncoast IN ADDITION to tuning. Both ATS and Suncoast will strongly recommend you use some form of tuning for the transmission in conjunction with their units for maximum reliability- ATS uses their "Co-Pilot" control unit, and Suncoast uses Superchips Custom Tuning.

So far my experience with suncoast has exceeded my expectations, does not go past 200* on my tranny temp gauge even while towing a 4k pound boat in 100+ degree weather going pretty darn fast up grades, shifts beautifully and doesnt seem to mind my 40" tires and my edge/juice/attitude(level 5 most responsive 247) with or without the stack tune. and a 23 year old heavy foot.

If your interested in his number let me know he knows the 5r110 pretty darn good, you dont find many shops that could work on the 5r110.

depends on how bad your tranny is I guess. I think you could buy a new tranny for less then 5 grand but thats stock.
