Shortening the driveshaft is pretty cheap. Trans controller is 6 bills and easy to set up as well. It is actually kind of nice to be able to custom tune your trans for your specific driving style. I have mine programed to up shift late, but then not downshift until I really get into the throttle. It keeps the TC locked up most of the time, unless I really need it to downshift.
The vac gauge does let you know when the engine is performing 'efficiently', but it's somewhat disheartening to see the tach floating around 3000 rpm at 55-60 mph. I guess there's just not much we TH-400 owners can do...
