    I always use the B/M transpak, I think it has more in the kit than just the shift improver kit. Anyway I always use level 2, street/strip. Did the towing setting once and saw no real improvement over stock.

    I used the B&M Shift Iimprover Kit in the RV mode in a 350 in my '49 Chevy pickup and was very happy with the shifts.

    Aye! The street/strip is firm. The tow/go is weak.

    Running the street strip mode in mine, it only bangs hard under throttle, otherwise it shifts just fine...327, 2400 stall and 3.08 gears, truck is about 3000#.

    Have run the tow pack in another rig, and was not much different from stock.
