After the install, even with some TM left in, it shifted nice and quick.
I had Allen Nelson leave the line pressure a little higher, as I set up my kit a little soft. On the seperator plate, I just drilled the 1-2 shift to the first size hole, and left all the washers(spacers) out of the 2nd accumulator. Of course the stall makes it a little softer too. Drives great, barely notice the shift kit until above 1/2 throttle. Blows the tires off on the 1-2 shift at wot under boost.

Yes, its a nice setup, I did a lot of researching on here before I did the install. Even though the intructions said to drill the larger hole for 1-2 shift if you have a stall, and install spacers on the 2nd accumulator I didn't, I only went to the first size hole. Also keep in mind the transgo instructions did not take into account that I was also installing a vett servo which firms up the shifts.
But on the 2-3 shift I Did drill the larger size hole, because its hard to get a 2-3 shift thats too hard.
Also, even when I did have some torque management left, it shifted great. I think, just for some extra protection, in the future when I have to retune, I will ask Nelson to put a little back in.
