Just bought a Transgo shift kit and Steeda UDP's...Can't wait for the instal, next comes a DiablosportPredatorand Accufab TB/P. Also what do you guys think of a Trans Cooler and also a Torque Converter. Would they make any difference b/c I don't plan on getting a Supercharger

+1 you should send the shiftkit back and get the tuner with the money. or put the money towards a tuner.

and I'm taking it you've never had a ride in an auto car with an aftermarket torque converter, they make a world of difference when launching the car. my buddies 400 hp camaro with a big stall is insane.

Don't listen to these guys, shiftkits and adjusting shift firmness are horrible for your tranny. All the tuner does is increase line pressure. I just got off the phone with BC automotive and they told me the only safe way to firm up shifts was with a manual valve body. Order one from BC and a stall and you'll shave significant times off your 1/4.

+1 i've been told by a few shops in my area that shift kits aren't very good for your tranny..esp if it has some miles on it

The stall and tranny cooler is an excellent idea.
