Rev,
Yeah, I've got a Transgo shift kit that runs with a PI Stallion 2800 non lock-up converter. It still shifts hard, it's just that the converter allows the engine to slip a bit during the shift...keeps it moving up in the power band.
As far as shifting, when racing, I generally shift around 5500 rpm. The cam pulls hard up past 6000 on the stock tach, but until I get an aftermarket tach, I'm not going to run it any higher than that.
When I have some money, I'm looking into a Lentech valve body so I can fully control the shifts.
