see my post about length of the rod from side of trans to throttle body.

removing weight from the governor weights will raise shift points..
but isn't really right to do with a stock engine in my opinion.

KEP provides instructions on shaving the governor weight so the trans shifts
later. It's squarish. Grind until one corner is gone making it pie shaped.

BTW, I'm sure Daryl would chime in if he was reading this thread. But he's
not likely to do that because he and Kirk Meeks are driving home from SdM.
Talked with him by phone a couple of hours ago.
