Transgo shift kits
Transgo shift kits What's the general opinion on this setup on a stock tranny?
Is there a good guide that explains exactly what this kit will do? As I read it, it allows me to manually choose my gear and any rpm, basically a manual tranny with no clutch?
How difficult is it to install?
any info is appreciated, I found there website sorta confusing

Do a search, you'll find all you need. Most people get tired of typing the same exact stuff over and over. might be why you got no response.

Not saying don't use the search, but when it returns some 20+pages of results and after reading the first 20 or so posts you begin to loss interest in searching.
well you are going to get 2 kinds of people. 1. trans go or 2 do programming. I did both. The general rule is it is a good mod espically when installing a converter. If you install the shift kit you will need programming to remove torque management.
Some say to just program the pcm and there is no need to get a shift kit. i beg to differ as i had programming first than installe the shift kit.

i got this kit.. the tranny shifts agressivly.. 1st to 2nd will give you a nice KICK while middle or low throttle.. on WOT you wont even notice the shifts, just the engine going down on revs..
i think is worth it.. but i had my tranny rebuilt from 0...

i did the full race shift kit with the tranny in the car. the install would go nicely if the f'n instructions made any reference to an F-BODY. the video sucks. the paper instructions are your friend. and yes, torque management needs to be removed as i have lost ~1.5 mph in the 1/4 because of it. 1-2 is HARSH, 2-3 is HARD, got me sideways at the track with drag radials even (2-3). i recommend the kit and installation yourself. i have a 4k stall sitting here to be installed when i return from my cruise. then it's off to tune everything BUT the engine. 
the thing about the kit that intrests me the most is the ability to change into the gears at any rpm without damaging the tranny, sorta like a manual with no clutch
How does that work? Can I still simply put the car in drive and not worry about shifting through the gears and just do it when I want?

yes. D and OD work like normal with the exception of shifting harder. you can hold 1, 2, and 3 to any rpm and shift at will. at wot if you manually shift from 1st to 2nd at say 3,500 rpm, the car will shift - as opposed to waiting until 6k. now for the "without any damage" staetment:
