Default B&M Electronic shift kit

Im looking to buy a B&M electronic shift kit for my 98 z28. I was just wondering if anyone who has one can tell me if its a good mod to have or if its hard on the transmission. Its only like 40 bucks so it seams like a good deal to me. Let me know what you think.

Its basically a system to reduce PCS current and therefore raise line presure, You could just as easily do that in tuning.

A .125" drill bit is much cheaper than their kit and will accomplish the same thing.

tried it out years ago. It won't make wot shifts firmer but it will make part throttle shifts hard, sometimes harsh. FYI Girlfriends will hate it driving around town.

Hmm....thanks for the help guys I am seriously reconsidering buying this. What is a good shift kit for street driving? I dont want hard shifts all day, but stock shifts kind of suck, even though its super smooth...
