Default Shift Kit or Program

Now that I have this thing running the way I want it (scalded dog or raped ape comes to mind) it's time to work on the transmission. This thing runs as good as a, basically stock, '94 LT1 with 130K can run.

Now I want the transmission to shift harder/quicker. Should I install a B&M Trans Pack or just program the trans? I have used the Trans Pack on a couple of other cars that I've owned. I like the way it works. Can I do the same thing with a program? Or maybe another shift kit that I don't know about.

Degree of difficulty: No trashing each other about chinese parts.

I use the hyperteck III and my track times prove it works fine, burns rubber 1st to 2.nd and 2nd to 3rd. The 3.75 rear helps too I guess.

With your 4l60e, you can increase the line pressure during shifts which is essentially what a shift kit does. Try reprogramming first.
