Default First Impressions Of The Shift Kit!

Well I Finally Got The Kit Installed Yesterday. Heres The List:
Transgo Hd2 Shift Kit
Hardened Seperator Plate
Billet 1-2 Servo
Billet Od Servo
Allu. Pinless Accumulators 1-2 And 3-4
Allu. Pinless Forward Accumulator
Servo Release Check Valve
I Think Thats It!

I Had Them Drill The 1-2 Hole To .070, The 2-3 To .115 And The 3-4 To .120, And The Servo Release Check Valve To .120 By Hitman X Advise. When They Called And Said It Was Done I Hadent Received My Tune From Nelson Yet, But I Had To Drive It To See If It Was Right. It Shifted Extremely Hard Because The Line Pressure Was Still Up On That Tune, It Would Hit A Second Scratch At 1/3 Throttle!! It Even Hit A Third Scratch A Couple Of Times At Half Throttle. I Didnt Hammer On It At All Cuz I Thought I Would Screw Something Up. Then I Got The New Tune In And Took It For A Drive And Here Are The Results:
The 1-2 Shift At Light To Half Throttle Is Firm And Quick But Not Harsh, I'd Say 3/4 To Full Throttle And It Will Chirp The Tires(exactly The Way I Wanted It!) The 2-3 Shift Is Pretty Firm At Wot But Its Perfect With Any Less Throttle. 3-4 Is Fine Also. Man It Really Feels Like A Different Truck With That In There And All Of The Tm Removed. Im Anxious To See If It Will Help My 1/4 Mile Times At All. The Only Thing That Is Bothering Me Is When You Hit It From 20 To 30 Punch Sometimes It Takes A Second To Shift Down, But Sometimes It Doesnt? Is That Normal Or Is Something Not Right?
But Otherwise I Love It. Could Some Of You Tell Me Your Experiences With Your Shift Kits.
