shift kit, yea or na? im about to order a 2800 or a 3000 stall. ive seen that not everybody does shift kits and was wondering whats best to do? now i know you guys are gonna say get a bigger stall but im looking for something like stock and im not looking for huge gains. 3-4 tenths is all im looking for. whats a good str also?

shiftkit and BIG *** trans cooler
the higher stall will launch harder (more tenths gained in 1/4) for some sacrifice for looseness iirc.
While a 3200 stall with 2.0-2.5 str was my best mod for the money, having a Trans Go kit, Kevlar band and billet servo installed while my trans was still good was awesome as well.
Without the kit my car slipped into gears making inconsistent track times. It's firm and consistent with the kit.
If you can afford it do both.
Big cooler is great insurance too.

This is interesting. I've always thought our cars didn't need shift kits if using LS1edit to increase the pressure. I have mine silghtly increased. Is there any improvement in the 1/4 to be had? I have a PT4400.

In case you don't know, the Vig3200's seem to actually flash to about 3500-3800
