Default New transmission safe for programmer?

i just replaced my transmission with one from ETE Reman, is it safe to continue to use the edge evolution on it? Here is what they told me when I asked what all was done to it.(Shift Pro)



here are all the updates we do to the 4R70 transmissions.

• Six-plate direct clutch and four-plate intermediate clutch packs, standard on all models, increase durability and performance.
• New EPC solenoid installed for precise pressure control.
• New boost valve kit, pressure regulator valve, bypass converter clutch sleeve, and plunger eliminate delayed engagement, shudder, and soft shifting.
• Upgraded spiral lock snap ring and staked retainer for intermediate clutch address an OE design flaw and eliminate premature failure.
• Updated 1-2 and 2-3 accumulator pistons prevent harsh shifting and premature clutch failure.
• New overdrive servo pin sleeve installed in ETE REMAN’s servo modification process with custom-designed tooling and bushings.
• Completely remanufactured pump with new line bore bushings eliminates leaks and provides superior flow and durability.
• Fully remanufactured torque converter is tested for leaks, lockup, concentricity, and balance. Upgrades exceed OE requirements and eliminate the possibility of front seal leaks, premature bushing wear, and vibration.
• 2001 and newer models feature a new 3-4 capacity valve sleeve and an extra-thick zinc-coated Super Tough Plate to eliminate plate cracking and cross leaks caused by repeated stress from the 2-3 accumulator piston spring retainer.
• Police, towing, and performance packages include: eight-plate direct clutch pack, additional valve body modifications, elevated pressure regulator valve, and other upgrades to increase durability and load capacity.
• New custom-spec bushings improve internal fluid flow control and pressure.
• Complete road simulation testing using ETE REMAN’s proprietary dynamometer testing program called CARS (Computer- Aided Road Simulation). Every transmission is cold- and hot-tested while using Synthetec ATF, a custom-blended
fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid, and filtration system.

I would hook it back up and adjust the shift firmness to +5 and ride like the wind.

Can I get some serious answers, I liked having the edge before and I’d like to have it with this one but I’d hate to destroy my transmission

Lots if people tune their new truck right off the lot. I would tune yours and enjoy it.

I never made it til the first service it was rebuilt and went out before it got there, and my apologies +5 sounded like maxed out or it may be and I thought it was gonna hurt something. So just go to +5 I used the towing level mainly don’t need performance and I’ll be safe?

Let me ask this, is it safe to run level 2 since I have a remanufactured transmission?
