Justin if you already have the correct adaptor plates, definitely use them. No, you won't have to use any RTV with the adaptor plates and correct gaskets. Then get it tuned.
hmm...I dont know what to do?..haha should I try to return the adapter plates or should I use them?... I wont have to use rtv with the adapter plates right?

Stock TB/Plenum are decent for the PI intake, they are something to consider after you do the swap, but aren't that big of a bottleneck IMO. The next largest bottleneck on the engine will be the headers/exhaust I think, although for people like me not willing to go through the hassle to get longtubes installed...Midpipes and catbacks are the extent of what you can do.
The ONLY way you should adjust your auto tranny is with a J-mod. Increasing pressure via tuner or anything like that will destroy the tranny earlier, a J-mod will not only do the same thing more effectively but will also extend tranny life due to reduced wear between shifts. A tranny cooler is a good thing to have installed too.
ok..thank you..Ill save my money for a pi cam probably...I already have Longtubes/ catback.... I have no idea how to do this j-mod and would not attempt to do it?..will any shops do them?..a tuner really puts that much pressure on the tranny..my bros been running it like that for like 2-3 years and hasnt had a problem? Is it really that much wear when you drive normal?

yea..ive never heard of it messing up an auto tranny...Ill just go with a tuner ...its a lot easier then doing the j mod IMO.
Unfortunatly I lost the bookmark for the J-mod info, but Jerry (the most informed person on 4r70W, AODE Transmissions on earth basically, believe he was one of the main engineers of it?? Not sure on that, someone else will have to verify my info) made this shiftkit. He states somewhere on the site about the fact that increasing the line pressure with a tuner will shorten the life of the tranny.
