My car is in the pro shop getting my Maggie installed along with my Torq convertor. Now I know someone had mentioned I would need a tune after the convertor was installed but I assumed they ment the this would be handled when they tuned the PCM at Magnuson. I now noticed a thread talking about tuned TCM and was wondering if this is what he ment.
I guess my question is do I need to tune the TCM for the convertor or will the PCM tune from magnason do the job?

the shift points will have to be tuned/changed after the converter.....the maggie tune will not do that.

Thxs for the reply. Turns out Magnuson called to say I needed to send in the TCM module along with the PCM. Wish they had said something to the Pro shop when they talked on the phone.

It's in the directions that autos need to send the TCM in and the PCM there's a space in the box (but the directions show it for an 04 and it's inside on the 05/06's). They will not tune the TCM for a convertor.

You need to have the downshift rpm raised or the trans will be constantly downshifting. Every time you give it more throttle, the converter slips, rpm's jump and you get a downshift. Raising the line pressure 10% helps firm up the shifts

Now if they just included the shipping label and directions I would have been all set

They must have change that policy. I talked to the guy that is programing my TCM/PCM (Dusty?) and he told me they program for all mods as long as they know about them. Just FYI for anyone else going trough a similar situation.
