I installed the B&M Shift Improver Kit using the Street/Strip mods. (You can also do the RV/Towing mods.) The part throttle 1-2 shift is a little harder than I'd like but doesn't chirp the tires. At 2/3 to full throttle the tires do more than chirp, they squeal, even with 255x70-15 tires. I have a 3.08 open diff and 2000 RPM stall converter.
