I have a stock 95 gt. I dont have a chip for the shift point recalibration. I want to get the Transgo shift kit next. Will this make the shift points worse? I wanted to get a few more mods before I go with a converter and chip.
Thanx to all.
If your car is making any decent kind of power, you will crush the rev limiter between first and second.
I have 4.10s, an AODE, and a B&M shift kit. When I'm off the nitrous, I don't hit the 1-2 rev limiter. When I'm spraying, I CRUSH the rev limiter and get stuck in first if I don't let off and let it shift.
I just did a 4.10 swap, and with the mods in my signature, I am yet to hit the rev limiter. You can always buy an aftermarket ignition box and raise your rev limiter if it becomes a problem.
I have a 4:10 with my 347 if i mash it ill ping off the limiter and then it will throw me into the seat into second lol. But also my shift points are all changed from the chip.

Sorry, but this won't happen. You first need to raise the limiter in the EEC - then you can control it at a lower level with an ignition - an ignition box will have no effect on the stock limiter.
When you go to 4.10s and don't hit the limiter, you probably are not making the power you should - ecause some cars with basic mods will hit the limiter with even 3.73s.
The other thing to consider is rasing the rev limiter to keep it from hitting the limiter will probably result in shifting well past the point where you should be shifting for best times. It's much better to recalibrate the shift points so they are lower and take advantage of the power curve.
Better late than never, but I can tell you from first hand that you will hit the rev limiter. Get a chip or wait until you install the other parts you want and get a dyno tune.

A transgo kit won't change your shift points, just shift firmness. Like others said, if your making more power (Say a good H/C/I setup) you will more than likely hit the limiter with 3:73-4:10 gears. Which a stock - mild bolt-on motor, you won't hit the limiter. Get a speedo gear for you speedometer, and don't worry about the rev limiter for now. And if you ever mod to the point where you hit the limiter, chances are you will need a custom tune anyways.
