Default Anybody use a transgo?

I have a stock C5 with a 3.43 gears and a 3200 stall. Torque management is disabled. Any advantages to using a transgo?

I run about 30 races a year.

I would like to manually shift at lower RPMs occasionally to stay in my class. Would a transgo help?

A transco kit will not change your shifting to manual. You have to change to a manual valve body and change your tuning in the ecm I think. It will make your shifts firmer. Just be careful not to raise the hydraulic pressure to high. You can damage the trans. I hope some trans experts can chime in.
You would be better off getting tuning software and a laptop which can change your full throttle shift points to where you want them in order to stay in your ET Bracket.

Hope this helps.
