Default About to buy a shift kit

Im looking at the HD2 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TR...2/?image=large which is the one that everyone recommends.

is there a difference between transgo kits?

for example ws6store has this kit http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=1809

which is more expensive. is there a reason for this? or is it the same product as the summit one just more expensive?

I can tell you the one from Summit doesn't include a video. If you must have a video, Transgo has one to download from their website.
IIRC one is for mechanics and one is for the average joe. It's been talked about before on here but I doubt you can find it in a search. It was kinda off topic. Trying to remember......

EDIT: watched your 0-130 youtube video. You need a shift kit. Get the HD2 and don't look back.

It's been a long time, so I don't recall the particulars. I do remember that the one with the video was not as complete, and the HD2 (which I have) is the one to get.

I have heard also the HD-2 is the one to buy. I went with computer tuning instead as none of the local trans shops wanted to install it into a 100k tranny without a "freshening" aka rebuild. So far the tuning only has done well.

the one from summit says its an hd2, thats what im going to end up going with. i dont need a video because i really dont plan on doing the install myself. ive done all the work on my car myself but kinda just want to take it to a shop for the install of the stall/cooler/shiftkit just for piece of mind.
