I dont' know.

I would really like to get one myself. But I may just blow up my transmission.

My friends '73 Firebird had a Chevy 350 and trans. in it. He used the transpak, but put in the Street/Strip kit. He didn't use the Full Competition.

It shifted pretty good, but I need something that'll snap my neck for me to like it.

exactly

back in march, coming home from the meet at daves house, i was getting on the highway and floored it, as soon as it shifted into 2nd, my dads head flew back and hit the back window:p it was so freakin funny. but that was after maybe a month after the rebuild, and even then it wasnt hard enough for me

I don't know Eric. The only reason I may do it is because I could care less about this tranny.

I just started working again, and only have my truck insurance to pay for so if something breaks then I could afford it. And I do believe my trans. is useless otherwise. Shifts like a sack of sh*t when its hot.

I may just buy a cooler and a transpak to help it, or have some fun.

I think if I had your truck, i'd go for it. Maybe someone can tell you if its a good idea or not and why.

Extremely hard shifts and higher shift points make this mode unsuitable for street use
sounds fun

i just want it to chirp the tires when it shifts
