The shift improver is dangerous. If you get too much line pressure, stuff starts breaking.
Save your money for a transgo or similar type kit.

I have this kit and it is not bad. It does make for firmer shifts. A lot better than stock or just simply raising the line pressure. My shifts are very tight.

If this is the inline one, all it really has the
authority to do is increase the part-throttle
line pressure out of the PWM valve. WOT,
it should already be 100%, no gain. Shift
point, the PCM determines, the plug-in has
no clue until the command comes.

All of this is better off being programmed at
the source.

TRANSGO or bust.
