Default shift kit issues

well i just got a b&m trans pak, so it can hold up the nitrous i just bought . so i went to like 5-6 transmission shops yesterday and most said they dont do shift kits, 2 guys started questioning why i want that in a new truck, they were like "you can shift harder with a programer i don't understand". i told them it was because i want it to hold up to the added power. he told me the shift kit won't help, if anything it will make it worse. I've been getting this kinda crap all week. Is there any reason why nobody wants to install this? and how hard is it to install myself?

Do not let these guys work on your truck! Keep shopping around for someone who speaks "GM truck" and let them do the work. You will come out ahead in the end.

I am in the same situation where I live. I'll have to travel 300 miles for tranny work and 120 miles for motor work. Inconvenient yes, but worth the trouble. Good luck!

Thats strange....it is a pretty simple install (for a trans shop) Do you have your truck here? Take a cruise out here on Sunday if you want....that is if its not raining....
