Check out Baumann's site. They've got some good tech info on there as well.

Transgo, unfortunately, doesn't have a site. They can be ordered from Summitt or other places for around $110.

The Transgo kit I used made dramatic improvements in shift quality and firmness at WOT. It was also much firmer under normal cruising conditions, but it wasn't harsh at all. Under throttle the tranny shifted hard and fast...hard enough to chirp 2nd with the stock converter. When I put the 2800 rpm PI converter in, it absorbed some of that firmness, but it was still worlds over stock. For a stock AOD, the best mods you can (and need) to do are a quality shift kit, a higher stalling torque converter, and some steeper gears (3.73's or 4.10's).

The shift kit by itself is going to make your car much more fun to drive. You still will have to play the 1-D-1 shuffle if you want to hold 2nd gear, but driving is going to be much more fun, reguardless. When you can afford to, look into a torque converter. It was absolutely the best mod I did to my car, and is the best thing you can do to an AOD car short of adding the squeeze or boost. Most people see a drop of .4 - .5 seconds from their quarter mile after a converter and shift kit. With the shift kit alone, you still will drop some time off your et...maybe as much a 1-2 tenths depending on how bad your stock AOD is.
