As long as you use the wide kickdown band, you can use the 5.0 kickdown lever and speed up band actuation even further. The 4.2 lever is just the max for the stock width band. Least that's the word on the street. Maybe fishy68 will chime in. He's about a genius around here. He knows a LOT about the TF, too. You do know to use a five disc direct drum and the 4 disc forward clutch, right? Plus, you'll wanna upgrade to the four pinion planetaries and get a really stouf bolt in overrunning clutch. The 904 already bolts in, but you wanna really high quality overrunning clutch because if there's a weak link in the TF, that's it. Do that with a good shift kit and it'll be fine. I've never used TCI shift kits but their rebuild stuff is pretty good. I've always gone with Transgo for the shift kit...I actually use there reprogramming kit. Transgo include things in their kits for the Torqueflite that other companies do not. Plus, their deestruckshuns are some of the easiest on the planet to understand.

I don't have any experience with TCI stuff. i know it's a popular brand and their stuff sells, so it must not be junk. I just prefer Transgo. the Mopar chassis manual even recommends Transgo by name.
