Reduced torque mgt vs firm shift

I understand the Diablo tunes reduce torque management between shifts which a lot of people like but I heard reduced torque mgt increases stress on the trans while firmer shifts are better for the trans because of less friction/heat buildup. Can someone describe the difference between the two?

If we are able to get into the transmission parameters for the actual car, we are able to adjust things like target torque for a shift, actual line pressure, torque converter settings, shift patterns etc.

The typical torque management available to adjust via the PCM can shut down torque management features such as throttle closing during shifts, torque reduction via spark etc. Typically these all work together as "torque management" as whole.

Ideally, you'd remove all modifiers related to torque management, which will effectly give you a good shift already, then mod your converter settings, shift pattern and pressure to get the shift your looking for. The mopar transmissions aren't very tough though so even on cars i do have full control over, the shift pressures are rarely touched.
