Yup, guys told me he would do it for 350. I would like to do it myself I bet I could get pleanty of help here. Maybe do a tc install writeup.

Some places act funny about installing one on a high mileage unit.

I have the hd2 as well. But done mildly (not overdrilled etc). I get a quick 1-2 bark now that my band is broken in and the 2-3 is just nice and firm, not jerky.

I hate the B&M style kits, and I hate stock with just increased line pressure. They feel jerky and I cringe when they shift. It just feels wrong...like it's just letting the gears bang. Feels like it is going to break at any moment.

Granted my little brother has a th400 w/ B&M, well abused and never broke, but it still feels bad.
