It shouldn't have to if he has the 3-speed hydraulic-valve ATX. MS can control a bunch of variables and help unleash a little more power, but would the work of setting it up be worth it? How much work do you have done to your car? It's definitely a good option if you plan on upgrading.

MS can control a boosted 3spd right?

As i plan to boost MY 3spd hear in the near[ish] future.

i would think that you would just need a way to lock up the converter.

No need for the MS to control the ATX, just let the stocker do it. You'll want to leave it in there to control the non-essentials anyway (cluster, fans, etc), so it will take care of the trans, too.

so i need nothing in a sense of tuning for a 3spd atx?

No, the stock PCM will be able to control it just as it does now. It won't notice anything different.

Off-topic...if you are boosting with the 3spd I would definitely look into an aftermarket trans cooler. Also, you might look at a RMVB. It was a lot of fun when I had my 2.0 boosted with a 3spd.
