Default TC tune question

I ask this question in the Tune section and didn't get much;
I installed a 3.42 rear and Fuddle 3000 stall converter in my wife's C5. I had W4MP do a tune. Now when she is crusing at a steady speed around 2000 rpm, the car will occasionaly feel like the TC unlocks for a second or two. I talked the the tuner and he saids this is normal and it nees a shift kit. I've got a 3500 stall and it has never done this. Does anyone have any thoughts on what needs to be done??

Can it be tuned out, or do you just put up with it?
Not sure why it would happen to some cars and not all unless it was in the tune
