Shift Kit or Tuning
I would recommend the TransGo shift kit. My car went from soft (read slipping) shifts to leaving rubber on the asphalt on the 1-2 shifts. And the shifts, although firm, are still quite decent (not harsh).
My tuner agreed, it was the better choice.

i would say to do the tune now, and to do the shift kit well you have the tranny built (if you are going to have it built). with a tune and a few bolt ons (no converter) i was spinning the tires on the 1-2 shift with nittos drag radials. there is really only so hard you can have a tranny shift before you start to do real damge and a good tune can easily achive that. plus the tune will give you other benifits besides firmer shifting. just my .02 though.

"Get the tune and the shift kit, but don't let the tuner firm up your shifts. Leave that to the shift kit. If you get a shift kit AND have the tuner raise line pressure too much for your tranny, you'll fry it in no time."
I think some of the big transmission guys on the site have all agreed that the way to do it is the shift kit. A tune can only raise line pressure, and even then, it can't do it for wide-open throttle. A shift kit can do this, plus it lengthens the life of your tranny.
Once again: Go for the shift kit.
