Default Gears with no tune

Sorry if this is a tired subject but I did a search on the topic and most of the threads I found quickly turned into an ugly debate. Without going into why I don't want a tune, is it feasable to get new gears without tuning the motor and/or trans? Also, anyone in Socal that has experience doing this with C6 Vettes?

No tune necessary if you have a manual. If you have an automatic you have to adjust the shift points in the tune I understand.

You will need a tune with an auto if you change the gears.... Chuck of CoW just posted about this just while ago. If you do a search I'm sure you will find it.......
