Shift points, line pressure and torque management all live in the FuelTech map instead of a locked OEM TCU — which is exactly what a swapped 8HP needs when the donor car's controller isn't coming along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterfaces the 8HP valve body solenoids and sensors with a FuelTech ECU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShift points, line pressure and shift timing set from the programmable map\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive data for transmission temperature, fluid pressure and shift behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for swaps — no donor-vehicle CAN network or OEM TCU required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoard only; installed into the transmission by the customer or their shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat else you need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board is one part of a three-piece control system.
