Hello i am thinking about getting the B&m Shift plust.IS it worth doing?

 

If you're looking for quicker or harder WOT shifts, no, it won't help in that regard.

 

Hello the handheld programers claim to give firmer shifts.Will the B&m shiter plus do the same as the hp3 regarding to firmer shifts?

 

Any programmer (and the Shifter Plus) will give firmer part throttle shifts but not firmer WOT shifts. The line pressure is programmed at 100% at WOT when stock.

 

Sorry i am new.What iw WOT Shifts?

 

Wide Open Throttle. (Your foot's on the floor!)

 

I hear from a lot of people that the only good thing B&M makes is the tranny cooler. I would go with a good shift kit like a TCI or Transgo over a device that just boosts line pressure.

 

FYI - I can tell you how to electronically boost line pressure with a $2 switch and a few $0.50 resistors from radio shack. no need to buy a $40 b&m part. PM Me

 

Easily done but make sure he understands the danger of doing that way.

I use to believe that, but now I'm not as sure. Looking at Edit Tables, it may be 100% of factory allowed pressure, but it appears that you might actually be able to override it and go higher. I remember HPP3 engineers claiming that and it may be possible. I'm just not willing to put my tranny at risk to test the theory.

 

Ragtop, I've played with LS1Edit a little bit and also the HPP3 ALOT (back in those dark days) and I've been able to tell no increase in WOT shift firmness. I think the max line pressure is being mechanically limited.

Just my observations and theory. I could be wrong but not by much if I am.

 

HELL IM NO EXPERT BUT I CAN SURE TELL MINE SHIFTS DIFFERENT AT WOT AND P\T BUT ACTUALLY MINE SHIFTS KINDA SMOOTH AT P\T AND MORE AGRESSIVELY AT WOT I HAVE MY HPP3 SET TO 100% FIRMNESS AND AM NOT LOOKING BACK IT WORKS GREAT AND I BELIVE THAT LOW THRODDLE SHIFTS ARE JUST ABOUT AS LOOSE AS STOCK WHILE HIGHER RPM SHIFTS ARE MUCH MORE PERSICE... SO I GUESS IM SAYING IT WORKS FOR ME THE WAY THEY SAID IT WOULD, BUT EVENTUALLY IM GONNA DO AT LEATS A TRANS GO KIT AND T\C BUT IM PRITTY SURE ILL HAVE TO GO FURTHER IF IM EVER GONNA REACH MY 600 RWHP GOAL
