Get a programmer instead.

With a programmer like an Edge Evolution you can adjust shift points, line pressure and more.

Since everything is electronic theres not really a point in getting a shift kit.

^^^^^ X2
Everything you can do with a shift kit you can do with a programmer, but it's a lot easier to undo programming than a shift kit.

A good vale body will do something no tuner in the world can do.......supply a higher volume of fluid. I run the vb that troyer sells, I think there's only one. Very good investment

Troyer Performance Valve Body

Troyer's valve body hands down! Like said above, it provides a higher volume of fluid.

I have the Edge Tuner right now and it's great, but when my Tranny pukes and I get a new one I will definitely be getting this valve body from troyer.
