B&M Shift kit recomendations

I am thinking of getting a shift kit, and I wanted some opinions on which setup I should use: Heavy Duty, or Street/Strip

NOTE:: this is my daily driver

Dont get the B&M, go for Transgo or Superior HP shift kits.

I had the B&M TRANSPAK installed in my TA for years.Never had a problem.It will only make the 1st to 2nd shift harder.Everything else will feel the same.I installed it to the street/strip version.
I would suggest putting in a larger servo assembly and larger TV boost valve instead.
You'll get better shifts than the B&M kit and you dont even have to drop the valve body.
