Everyone Ive talked to says get teh TCI one. They all say the B&M kit for the 700 R4s makes them fall apart quickly for osme reason

How about waiting for a rebuild then get it done at the same time? I got Rossler Trans to do it and they set it up so it shifts hard all the time. You can get it to shift soft all the time, hard at WOT only or hard all the time.

you can get nice shifts at part throttle and firm wot shifts w/the transgo kit from pro-built
don't get b&m whatever you do, all their shift kits do is increase line pressure, which for some reason makes the tranny fall apart very quickly

Why waste your time opening the tyranny up until it needs rebuilt. Just get a Fairbanks Piston/Servo kit. It's alot better than that crappy vette servo and you'll not even want a cheap shift kit after feeling it shift with fairbanks installed.
