Has anyone successfully used this in conjunction with the Superchips Transmission Tuning with reduced torque managment to 10% or so? I would like to keep the TM reduced so my truck will pull through the shifts at WOT, but if this would firm up the shift even more and prevent slipping that would be awesome. I dont feel like destroying my transmissions since it already has 110k on it. I figure anything your Hemis can throw at the 545rfe, I should have no problems with my 4.7l. Thanks for any help.

I tested a 390ohm 1/2 watt resistor last night and it is way better then the 350 I built.
The shifts are faster and harder. I am very Pleased with the 390ohm on Line 2.

Attached it what I did to connect them to my truck. I used a 3 wire plug so that I can test the 2.2k and any others I want, really easy.

Would anyone advise against running the Superchips transmission tuning (Torque management @ 10%) while boosting line pressure?

Im thinking it would actually help with the reduced torque managment by preventing any slipping that occurs in the lowered TM ranges. I dont want to tear the transmission apart with this combo.

Thanks John. I would assume it would only help, since reducing torque managment really doesnt reduce wear on the tranny. I think Ill give this a try on my Dakota. What do you have your TM at with the line booster?
