I talked to Geoff at EPS and he said it would be ok to drive it.

What exactly is changed in the tune when tuning for a converter?

I know maybe 1% about tuning the 6L80's honestly, but from what I am aware of the following are some of the parameters that are changed. Although, each book, or tuner, may do it their own way and only use some or none of these items.

TCC pressure: apply ramp, gain, offset
TCC desired slip
TCC apply and release for part and WOT (release timing is an issue I appear to be having)
Torque Mgmt

I believe it is also possible to need to adjust shift points in some cases.

Not to hijack the thread but I have a quick question. Im getting my cam put in a week after I do my converter and doing all the tuning the day after the swap. Would it be ok/safe to drive softly for a week on that converter and the efi live tune thats already in my truck? (Not tuned for a converter)??
Same exact one. It didn't mind the 100 shot at all.

Well, the track was packed tonight and I could only get in two passes. Both were spinning some off the line and both missed the 1>2 and 2>3 shifts. For some reason I cannot get the same results with the shifts on the street as I do on the track.

Run #1 12.657 @ 107.60 (60' = 1.844)
Run #2 12.666 @ 106.81 (60' = 1.791)

I think there is a 12.5 in the truck if all things were sorted but I am starting to think the stock trans is the issue for the shifts being missed so badly. Time will tell I suppose.

Good times though and good 60 ft.
What do you mean by missed shifts?

It is hitting the limiter at 6500 then shifting instead of shifting at the set mph and rpm shift points.
