Default Shift Kit Install

I have a Transgo shift kit which I want to install and was wondering what kind of changes need to be made to the computer?

did you have your shift firmness adjust prior with LS1 Edit? If so, then you need to change that back to default settings.

No changes were made yet. Once the kit is installed do torque management setting need to be turned off?

I am getting mine turned off. From what I've read the car is a blast to drive after that. I used 2 washers on my install and only needed 1 shim for the band. 2 shims and i could not move my band at all. Kit says it should have some play to it.

Turn off the torque management system. You will need to call tire rack.

The HP Tuners software allows shift points to be changed for better drivability; removes the factory early shifting economy settings. Someone has the transmission parameters in the HP user site you can copy, they work well.
