Hi Luke,
I had mine done and helped my buddy do his on our 00 R/T cc
The Trans go is a great mod. there is a couple of different ways to set it
up and by the look of your signature you are probally going for firmer
shifts not for barking the tires on the 1-2 shift. This type of setup is
easly obtained by just following the instructions, I would go with the
stiffest spring on the T/V cable and at least 4 turns on the t/v valve.
