I want it to spin more at WOT but bump less at cruise speeds. Possible?

Also, is it worth chamfering the manual valve ?( I have the revised type). Apols for the hi jack again Vinny but alot of people have the same queries.

How is your going now?
Removing the shims from the 1-2 accum and returning it to stock will have a large efect on the light throttle 1-2 shift while still retaining a very crosp 1-2 shift at WOT with that servo, This is how we set all our units up and we do use the fairbanks 1-2 servo . In fact I strongly suggest with the fairbanks servo you do not shim the accum since it will previde plenty of hold without them and actually at least to me become way to agressive at light throttle with the accum shimed.Perhaps even to the point of causig damage potentially.

If you don't mind post your findings in this thread also. I may eventually further modify mine to reduce part throttle bump so I would like to know your findings

Oh yeah hijack all you want the info is good.
