Well... might as well upgrade. Stock converter good for stock power. HS did an excellent job with their trans tune to keep the transmission shifting smoothly with their tunes. If I were you, with the upgrades you have planned I would look into upgrading your trans and/or torque converter. I would also look into a trans tuner to increase the line pressure and modify the shift points. That will make a world of difference even stock.

If its a high output motor, get H&S overdrive tune and run it. I've run my H&S on Hot pulling 40K and it has held. I even did 1 sled pull this summer, I locked it in third. I never powered out, I eventually spun out, transmission never slipped. It's not a bad transmission after the torque converter locks

He doesn't have an H&S tuner, just a RaceME tuner.

Look into either bd diesels 68 protect kit or revmax converter and valve body. The former won't change any of the transmissions shift characteristics, but ups line pressure. The latter turns the trans into something pretty decent

I just roasted my 2010 dodge trans running mild on my truck. Seen some trucks handle the extra power. I would at least run the hs overdrive program, maybe upgrade your torque converter, and maybe a valve body upgrade. Just a band aid anyways, I want more clutches and better clutch material than stock.

I'm going for do a bunch of upgrades on my 2010, so I'm not to bummed out. Probably for the best, my older truck is way more fun anyways.
