Anyone installed one of these. After I went to my smaller diameter converter I lost my big 1st - 2nd bark due to less rotating mass. Plus, I feel my car could shift a tad harder going into 3rd. Just wondering if anyone has tried one of these. I know in an Fbody, the electric switch makes a HUGE difference in their cars.

no experience myself but i heared those are pretty harsh on our aode's.

i had the holes on my transgo kit drilled to the largest setting "smaller diameter high stall coverter".

it barks the tires going into 2nd pretty good and shift nice and hard.

more powermods will make it shift harder i'm sure LOL

The previous owner had apparently tried to put a shift kit in my car. They over drilled the first to second shift, and then put a plug in it with a smaller than stock size hole (so the plug would stay). I had my tranny guy remove the plug all together, so for the last 4 years or so, it's been drilled out bigger than any size charted with the kit. It was violent. But I got used to it, and kinda liked it.

Changed to the new smaller converter, which is great! But it just doesn't HIT like it did with a stock size converter.

Not sure how changing the pressure could be "harsh" on our trannys. I've heard from several tranny rebuilders over the years that the harder they hit, the less friction there is and the cooler they run, so the longer they last. Even says that in the description.

Can too much be a bad thing? IF so, I've had a bad thing for 4 years, and I miss it.

I've also heard bad things about those B&M controllers...but usually in the context of increased line pressure on a totally stock transmission creating issues. With your existing shift kit and torque converter, I'm thinking you should be okay?

My line pressure is already very high for the 1-2 shift as it was set by the shop that rebuilt it last year. I'm considering increasing the pressure for the 2-3 shift via my newly purchased Tweecer.

I was curious about this item before. Due to the overwhelming responses to not get it, I never worried about it again.
It was on theis site. Some people even offered to GIVE me theirs.

Hmmm.... may talk to my tranny guy again, see what's up. I'm not sure where he set my pressure actually. If anyone has one they want to GIVE me... I'll make a before and after video, and try to get some track time in.
