It will make your shifts alot faster and crisper. So........do you want faster shifting or not!

hell yea, i want faster shifting. Do you think it will cut down some time in the 1/4th due to the shift lag the AT has

do u think i should get the trans cooler with the transgo kit?

To extend the life on a auto trans you DEFFINATLY want to add a cooler. How big is the one that comes with the kit? is the cooler thermostatic? If not you would definitely want to add a thermostatic liquid switch so that way the transmission will warm up and stay at the correct operating temperatures.

The transgo kit is my favorite mod, it should be a must if you have a AT. And unless you go FI, I don't think you need a tranny cooler; but that is my opinion.

I have a 5AT G coupe right now. For FI, what's the advantage of getting the transgo 250.00 kit over a more expensive valve body upgrade?

Can I get away with the transgo kit and a tranny cooler for a 400whp range tune? (Stock block and tranny)

My driving style is moderate/non rough and I drive my coupe like 1-2x a week that's it.

FI (for me) will = a faster coupe for scooting around town and on the highway and the ability to punch it when absolutely necessary

A transgo kit is a valve body upgrade, it's just the parts. By the time you have someone install it you will have spent a grand

All I have to say is have a respected shop install it for u. Do not go cheap !

Its got to be one of the best mods for an A/t tranny.
