That's basically sums it up. make sure it's tight between the towers and that all your bolts and lock nuts are tight and there ya go. As far as the sift improvemrnt, your talking about the round plate right, or the plug in module? No experience with either, but I would say the plug in module would be best for you have greater control over the transmission, more money but better performance.

Kidlex, I believe you are referring to the "AutoTrans Interceptor" - sold on www.pfyc.com - it lets you adjust the line pressure on your transmission. The interceptor may sound cool, but I've read lots of stuff over on some other grand am forums (not allowed to name, PM me if you want links) of people that have had trouble with it. It's been known to increase the line pressure too much, which can cause tranny damage. It's really not a necessary mod, and everything I've read about it has pretty much been bad. Sorry to let you down, but I really don't suggest buying one.
