With a shift kit the tranny will shift alot faster than stock, so if the desired shift times are not zeroed out it will keep lowering the trannys line pressure....
Thanks, now how does this complicate things if say a 3000 tc stall was added to an untuned truck on top of the shift kit and servo?

I'm not trying to avoid a tune, reason for the questions is...Say you have a shift kit, vette servo, torque converter and cam installed. It is said you "should break in" mainly the tc and cam for a couple hundred miles before you put your truck on the dyno and tune it. The issue being the untuned break in period of the vehicle.

You should be fine, it is more of a long term problem... I believe the TC should break in after 2 heat cycles with no WOT runs... The cam needs no breakin since it is a roller cam...

does $200 sound like a pretty reasonable price for labor and tuning?

Does that price include new fluid, gasket and filter. I'm sure those will (or should) be replaced as well.

$200 for a piece fo mind know it's done right, plus the tune, not too bad...
