Best Shiftkit=TransGo

Most Simple Shiftkit=TCI

Do you already have a converter? If not you should look into that. With your H/C package a converter is a must.

If you plan on installing the shift kit yourself you might save yourself some headache by going with the TCI shiftkit, It all depends on your skill level.

IMO the B&M shift improver is not a very good product but I dont know how it worked with you. I would strongly advise taking it out before you got your shift kit installed. Good Luck man
