All it really is is using a relay to switch the polarity on the 2-3 solenoid. The computer still thinks its hooked up to an 80e, but it really doesnt matter since they both use the same shift tables.

Made some tweaks to the tune and took it for a spin this morning... Streets are still damp, but i found 1 dry spot.. I was going are 60mph and gave it 1/2-3/4 throttle, man it down shifted and just flat out went!!!! I hit 80 like nothing. Man this thing shifts SOOOOOOOOOOO nice, there is absolutely no delay on upshifts or downshifts... All the shifts are freaking quick. First gear is a little odd, but honestly i have no idea why people are scared of swapping to an 80e... I hate myself for not doing this a long time ago...
