RE: TRANS SHIFT
Thanks for that informative link BOBLOM.
It seems the consensus, for those that have done this so far, is this is a good mod.
Some light was brought to one of our questions: where is this TCM located…
I only see one real open issue: How it performs w/SuperChips Torque Control.
The person that installed the TCM in that thread also qutoing published information, I assume DCX (see below), that says the PCM upgrade was required. Their install was done w/o the PCM upgrade and there are not issues at this time.

I was told it was under the dash just behind the lower panel just unbolt and unplug the old one and bolt up and plug in the new one and it has to be flashed for the car. the tech said about 45 min

TRANSMISSION CONTROLLER UPGRADE
The MOPAR Transmission Controller Upgrade has optimized shift schedule to take full advantage of the MOPAR 5.7L Hemi Performance Camshaft and Performance Torque Converter. The performance tuned AutoStick® calibration with the hold in-gear feature will prevent the transmission from up-shifting at red-line RPM in AutoStick® mode allowing for sportier driving.
Transmission Controller Upgrade Components:
• Performance Transmission Control Module (TCM)
• Installation Sheet
Recommended Upgrades:
• Powertrain Controller Upgrade
• P5153570 Performance Camshaft & Lifters Kit
• Performance Torque Converter
SPECIAL NOTE:
POWERTRAIN CONTROLLER UPGRADE
The MOPAR Transmission Controller Upgrade shift schedule has higher red-line RPM shifts (accelerator pedal fully depressed) than the production shift schedule. To support this performance shift schedule the vehicle MUST be equipped with the MOPAR Powertrain Controller Upgrade.
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE MOPAR POWERTRAIN CONTROLLER UPGRADE WILL PREVENT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FROM UP-SHIFTING AT FULLY DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR PEDAL DRIVING CONDITION (WOT).
