As I understand it, you can adjust shift points and firmness with a tuner... kinda makes a shift kit obsolete.

Not exactly obsolete. Factory Tech Transmissions offers a modified plate for these transmissions. (www.factorytechtransmissions.com) I'm not endorsing them as I know no more than what I've read around the net, just offering the name.

From what I've read, the tuner is pumping up the line pressure to increase firmness (not exactly desirable according to some folks) where the plate is doing the same with increased volume or some such method.

If you poke around, there is a user who has quite a bit to say about the plate kit (among other things). He evidently worked for them at one point or something.
