Need better shifts....which shift kit?

I have the TCI Breakaway 2200 RPM stall speed converter on my 84 700R4 trans. It shifts about the same way the family minivan shifts - soft and crappy. Which shift kit should I go with. I was looking at the Trans Go one in Summit for like 130 bucks I think. Which one do you guys like? What about the B&M Shift Improver Kit that's like 30 bucks? Is that just a complete waste of my money? ANY help is greatly appreciated. I want to get one soon so I can take my car to the track. Mods in sig. Thanks.

If you want the trans to last, then the Trans-Go Performance Shift kit is the only way to go. I have built hundreds of 700R4's and from what I have seen on tear downs the B&M and Art Carr's have the most damage done to them by their valve body kits, not-so with Trans-Go Shift kits. All my one year warranty Performance transmissions have the Trans-Go Performance Shift kit installed. If you have any questions please call me at 800 7763288 Mon-Sat 10-6 PST.
Glad Too Help!!!

Listen to these guys! They know what they're talking about! The TransGo is awesome! I'm starting to use them on all my stock rebuilds. The shift kit doesn't change the feel, but the re-calibration kit will do what you want.
