Looks about like mine 
love the barking tires through all the gears
as for the power the stock tranny can handle .. im not sure, but ive seen 450hp somewhere WITH the shift kit .. im assuming thats with an aftermarket / bigger cooler .. but dont quote me on this

How is the 3 to 4 shift for you guys with the transgo kits and boost? Does it slip for a split second then engage or is it solid hard shifting like the lower gears? If you leave the trans in DRIVE will it hit the rev limiter or does it shift fast enough?
I ask becuause I am considering the Transgo kit to replace my VB which was modified by SGP before the trans go kits were out. I works great in manual mode 1-2, 2-3, but I slight slip in 3-4 which cost me several tenths. And in DRIVE I hit the rev limiter in every gear and it wont shift.
Look at this video and pay attention to my 3-4 shift.

I'm really interested in getting this kit. Currently, I'm hearing grinding noises 1-2 with wot. It's driving me nuts. Does the TG kit fix this problem? I have no knowledge in Trans...... TT

though it looks pretty involving, Im pretty sure I could ahve done it myself now that i have seen this. Too late now since I already had a shop do it... Ohhhh well
But this is definitely an excellent upgrade! Man...I really want to take it apart and check my VB though. My 4-5 shift is very sluggish... All the others are lightning quick.

i've heard that with the Transgo + Osiris torque management you have even more crisp shifts all around. Someone on g35driver was talking about it since they had both.
Paddle shifters would be nice!

just hit 53k miles and still shifting just as hard as it did when I installed the kit .. think I'm a lil over due for a tranny fluid change, so thats next on the to-do list
bought a bike a few months ago .. so the Z has been resting a lil .. haha

Normal driving?
How does this handle under normal, non power driving? Does the trans still shift smooth and calm or do the tires chirp when you're just going to get groceries in town? at 35MPH

Under light loud mine seems like it doesn't want to shift and seems to slip a bit. It's to the point where I don't use it now. I had it installed while getting a turbo kit installed. I also have a heavy duty tranny cooler.
