    The crispness of the shift and the longevity it gives ur tranny are the up sides.

    It will give you better performance and shifts out of the 60e--plus help it live a little longer. The HD-2 and Superior kits are pretty good...

    Yeah, HD-2 is a good kit to use. Pair that up with some Corvette servos and you'll be good!

    You can but don't have to. Shouldn't have to increase them very much.

    I would keep it all stock in the tune. Do not install any washers in the 2nd accumulator from the kit. If the tranny doesn't shift firm enough for you after that, then you can bump things up in the tune.
