Well today I got my B&M shift kit, and it has two stages, stage 1 is RV/Towing, and Stage 2 is Street/strip...Who has installed this kit and which stage did you go with? The instructions say to start with the RV/Towing one first, then if you want more the street/strip can easily be installed. Should I just do the RV/towing for now, then later step up to the street one if needed? Thanks...

[Edit] This is for the '97 5.0

ya...ive heard a lot about the B&M shift kit...tell me how it works out and if your trans is smoother/deliver's the torque better..
 






I have one in my 90 Suburban, and set on towing it will still bark the tires shifting to second.

we all have the Baumann, so none of us can help. ive ran B&M shift kits before, but in GM trannys so i cant really help you. :(
 






Thats alright...I guess ill be a pioneer here ;) I think im just gonna put the RV/Towing one in for now, and once ive got a few more engine mods done, if I feel its not enough, I can always put the street one in...From reading the instructions this should be an interesting install lol
