Default shift kit

I have a 93 LT1 and I am about to spray a 100 shot TNT kit on it. I was wondering what kind of poopie kit put in your transmissions :confused:

Several tranny shops had recommended the TransGo shift kit; I realy like the one that was installed earlier this year.

I installed the TransGo kit and really like it. It was a messy job though. I'm going mid 11's on a 150hp shot. This kit won't make the trans last much longer on any power adder. That takes a rebuild by a good trans guy. Good luck.

Best of luck on your NOS use. I think the whole tranny should be fortified for nitrous use and a better torque converter ( I think they make torque converters specifically for use with NOS ) I am not that sure that a shift kit will prevent a tranny from breaking when using NOS.
