You DO Need it to be tuned. Putting another tuner on will result in less power and it will still destroy that tranny. It might last longer than stock, but not by much. What tranny is it? Never heard too much about the banks converters. Stock converters are already pretty nice, they are a triple disk factory. Tuning is key to making these trannies last. With good tuning they are excellent! I would start by calling Eric up at Innovative and telling him exactly what you have, he will probably write you new tunes. In the mean time you should be able to turn down the shift firmness. Also the transmission might need a learning period as well.

We already talked you into that SCT, don't downgrade now!

Quick trick automotive. It's just Vivian... they split up the business or something and she's working under that name. I am running the looney right now from her as my DD, as it's slower and definitley not nearly as hard on anything. The transmission shifting left a lot to be desired compared to my Innovative tunes. If you let off the throttle at all or just look at the truck the wrong the torque converter unlocks, which sucks at highway speeds. It doesn't ever seem to lock it hard when you're WOT from a roll or anything... like I said, good DD, but for the track, my Innovative tunes are going back in. I also had a lot of shift flares and missed shifts when I first loaded it, it took a LONG time to "learn" what it needed to do, but seems OK now.

Just my findings.

Also she took 2 weeks to respond to any emails I sent about the transmission issues. Never resolved a thing. Eric is back to me within hours....

Cool, thanks for the update. My tune from Vivian is a looney w/ smoke. It smokes about 2x as much as my Innovative tunes, but no where near as fast. Don't let the clean tunes from Eric fool you.
