Default converter and shift kit question

I'm thinking about going with the TCI SSF 3500, and was wondering if the TransGo shift kit is a must, or if i don't need it?? i'm definitely gonna get the trans cooler, and also gonna get either 3.73's or 4.10's put in as well, but was just wondering if its a must to get the shift kit as well ??

Thanks!

the shift kit is not a must at all. could be done some other time, but your all good for now. if you have 3.23's you will be fine with that verter, but if the verter is to loose for you then go upto a 3.73 and that should take away some of the "looseness" feel to it. 4.10's is a bit to high.

Thats a great choice of converter , best buy for the money. I would not tpuch the gears for a while you will be surprised how much stronger the car will feel with that converter.

It'll be cheaper to just have the shift kit installed at the same time as the converter.

If you are talking about the Trans-Go Performance Shift kit? "do not" add any spacers to the 2nd gear accumualtor and you will not get the light throttle bang shifts, just firm WOT shifts.
