Transgo, period. HPP3 only raises line pressure and that can damage things over time.

Don't install it yourself unless you're really **** about planning and careful attention to detail.

A properly installed transgo is the best choice.

Thanks, thats what I thought. I had one in my 1996 Z28. Their not hard to install. I've done probably 20 of them for friends. One of which said that the hpp3 did the same thing. You might of won me $20. Thanks again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Transgo shiftkit and also PCM reprogramming with LS1 Edit. With edit you can lower the Force motor values according to TPS. This effectively increases line pressure. You can also adjust all your shift speeds.
