    Not sure if I'd recommend a shift kit or not. I built mine up a few years ago and it's still going strong behind some really severe beatings with a very loose 3600 stall, 200+ shots of nitrous and now a turbo. The one mod I like the most is replacing the PWM shift pressure solenoid with the vacuum mod kit from transgo along with the vacuum bypass, again from Transgo. Electronics are doomed to fail be it electrical or tune related. I've beat and banged on mine and it's still as strong as an OX. I've made a few little improvements but nothing too major. The trans was originally a 2002 unit. Look for transmission related posts I started, one of them has all the details of what I did when I freshened this one up.

    I kinda disagree with RedHearbeat (No Offense). The factory style electronics are fine. Just depends on application as to whether you want to keep them are not. However, to make a good recommendation we need to know more about you mods and how much weight you plan on towing. Corvette servo will firm up shifts a little but not sure on using it on a tow rig.
