I don't have a shift kit in my car but I hope to get one soon. I have heard though that the Transgo Shift Kit is the best. Thats all I have ever heard or read on this board. Most people don't like the B&M shift kits at all. The transgo kits are much more complete and of much better quality. This is all just what i've read, i'm sure others can back me up.

When I hit the bottle My trans is shifting at about 5500-5700 RPM.Way to high,and I think that my valve springs are DEAD.
My trans is currently being rebuilt,and I installing a B&M govener recalbration kit.
I want to shift at 5000RPM.
I was suprised that I could blow a Richmond
pinion before the stock 700R4.

Wouldn't a window switch solve this? If it shuts the nitrous down around 5000, then it would reduce the load and help the shift... right?
