Just have him install it on its lightest setting and you'll be fine! Some trans shops try to do their own shift kit (drilling out and leaving out checkballs) that's not what you want.

However, if he's gonna warranty it, run whatever!
I think a SK 4L60E is alot better from a reliability standpoint, The HD2 hits to hard on a mild engine & tight converter.

That is almost exactly what the guy at the shop said. I don't want to be banging my head on every shift (exaggerating), but my wife would hate it. Not building a screamer (bout 350hp), so want this to be a comfortable driver. . I think with the Vette servo, that will be enough to improve the shifts for me.
