I would at least install a good replacement valve body or modify yours with a Transgo kit.
I have increased the clutch count in all forward clutch packs, modified the pump and valve bodies, and installed a billet input shaft and triple disc torque converter. I did this because of a bearing failure in the trans and not becuase of the chip. I felt that I needed to beef up the trans, while I was in there, for later mods. Plus, I tow a large fifth wheel camper at times.
P.S. Welcome to FTE.
