Hi Phil,
Sure, you can run the Micro Tuner or the Superchip along with the factory tech valve body - lots of people are doing it.
Now you *may* need to reduce the part-throttle shift pressure a little bit with the FTVB in place in conjunction with the Superchips tuning, but that is a matter of driver preference - some feel the part-throttle shifts should be smoother (and this is mostly in family vehicles we're talking about, where the wife & kids comfort are a concern).
If we do a custom tune for you, and you find that the shifts are a bit too firm for example, then we can simply bring that pressure back down for you with a simple program adjustment - that won't be any problem.
In short, I think the best tranny combination is the Superchips tuning *and* the FTVB - excellent combination that takes care of both the program issues *and* the hardware issues, too - that's a great way to have a long-life firm-shifting tranny.
