Anyone install Edlebrock aluminum heads ?

The whole problem with shift kits is the installer thinks "If some is good, MORE is better". Back in the 70's (I was 19 years old) I did my 904 to B&M's Full Race mods. I got 2 tickets and over 10 warnings when my Dart would "CHIRP" the tires going from 1st to 2nd.

I use Gil's TransGo kits. They have always been good. When I use a kit I do all the mods but keep it to the lower mods and never 'STRIP' setting. Yes I do up the line pressures some and drill out the plate as the instructions say to. But MORE is not always better.

Said well. It makes so much more sense to adjust your actual pump pressure. You can tweak the adjustments in minutes to your liking or driving circumstances and go back and tweak them again in minutes if you’re not happy. Rather than buying, taking a lot of time tearing a valve body apart and installing a shift kit. Only to find it’s too harsh or you want more for your driving conditions.
Adjusting spring pressure on the actual pump is where happiness is made. After pan is off. Takes 10 seconds to tweak pressure one way or the other.
