Tell me about the wheels, and a shift kit will make it shift harder.

Me and my buddy installed my Trans-Go shift kit with the car on jack stands. I made it mild but the shift kit with my tuner and i can chirp like nobody's business into 2nd lol and thats with 10 inch tires.

If anything it gives me a peace of mind knowing that my tranny will now most likely last longer. Now for a tranny cooler..

Shift kits usually can be adjusted because everyone's needs and opinion of what a hard/solid shift is tends to differ. TransGo and Fairbanks both make great shift kits.
