Default shift kit or tune?

I'm thinking of putting a shift kit in my 01 gt was wondering if this is good idea or have car dyno tuned for shift points? Any opinions?

Get it tuned that way you're doing more for your car than just jacking up the transmission line pressure.

I would go for a short shifter, because that way you can shift quicker, without grinding gears or missing shifts.

I doubt a shorter shifter lever is going to make a difference on an automatic trans....


As a matter of fact Im sure of it.
