Can anyone recommend a good shift kit???

I don't know that much about them, so anyone know about how much they run, how hard they are to install and what kind of difference to expect.

Thanks.

B&M's suck ****. They don't shift hard for ****. My trans was rebuilt allitle while ago and it has a B&M in it. That thing don't shift hard. When it shifts it only gives a slight chirp. I say go with Trans go which is the best way.

I'll join the B&M bashing bandwagon. Long story short - don't go there! Get a Trans Go kit. Period.
