Re: TCI Governor recalibration kit
easy to do,
can be done in the car by removing the small cover on the drivers side (not the passenger side!!!!!!!!)
takes approx 30-40minutes to complete, jacking up the car and all.
if you jack it from the rear hardly any atf comes out if any
can re-seal the cover with silicone

Re: TCI Governor recalibration kit
heaviest weight makes shifts earlier make sense?
grind weight off or take weight off to shift later(like your 4500 rpm)
