A good tune will pull it all together and make the work and waiting worth it. Enjoy.

Justin tunes are great! Also like having SCT X3 because you can adjust trans firmness.

I think he means that a mechanical solution combined with tuning is the proper way to enhance shifting and firmness.
For example.

That's what I was thinking but didn't want to just assume.. Increasing line pressure via the programmer isn't a poor way to adjust shift firmness. There's always going to be a better way but I think for most of the F150 market adjusting shift firmness by using their handheld programmer is the best way.
