crisp mild shift, personally i wouldnt run any spacers if thats how ya want it, all the 2nd gear accumulator spacers do is really firm it up under part throttle shifts. ive got full vette servos, transgohd2 SK drilled the the 2nd biggest option on the valvebody for non stall use and with 488s i bark on the 1-2 with a little past quarter throttle, and at WOT she turns the gooey 33s without a problem on the 1-2 personally when i just had the shift kit in, and no servo, even with two spacers it was pretty mild, once the vette servo was in, completely different story. hope this helps answer your question, also if you do decide to go with a stall you might want to have a spacer in or two

no problem man, n according to the transgo directions i think it did say to drill the valve body out with the biggest bit for stall useage, but i dont remember the directions word by word lol. and if ya dont mind let me know how you like that stall, i was looking into that exact convertor but i dont know how tight it is on the street, or if id still be able to go out n do some trail riding

For your setup I'd run NO spacers on the 1-2 accu and drill the holes out on the seperator plate.

Well i put the tranny in this week end and took it for a spin i could not be more happier with the results i went with no spacers and drilled the small holes and sent the pcm to wheatley for a retune the shifts are nice and crisp the circle d 278mm 3200 converter feels nice and tight with the 4.10 i was running 3.23 before.
