Default Shift Kit Suggestions...

I'm looking into getting a shift kit put on my car, but I'm torn between which one to buy. I'm looking at the B&M Shift Improver Kit, the B&M TransPak, the TransGo Shift Kit, and the TCI Shift Kit. Anyone have any suggestions? It'll be going on my 85 Corvette's 700-R4 transmission. My goal in putting this shift kit on will be to strengthen the tranny a little, and make the tires chirp when it shifts. All comments appreciated.

Several good local tranny shops like the TransGo shift kit.

the transgo kit will fix design flaws that make the tranny weak and also give you hard shifts...the b&m kits will give you hard shifts at the expense of tranny life..all the auto experts have told me use only transgo and avoid b&m like the plauge.

on http://www.thirdgen.org ask transfixleo or probuiltautomatics these guys know everything.
