Turbo 400 firmer shifts

Guys whats the biggest u drill your feed holes too? I have a automatic valve body with the transgo kit in it holes are now drilled to .125 on 1-2 and 2-3... We are thinking about going to .156 on both.. too big?

.125 is the maxiumum for 1-2. but you can drill the 2-3 .140. but for the 2-3 you can grind the three raised castles off of the accumulator and put it in up side down. then you will have good and hard shifts.

well this is what we did... we drilled the 1-2 to .137 and 2-3 to .147... Blocked off the gov to mod hole on the transgo plate... shimmed up 2-3 accumulator to tighten up band..... and ground the Big lands on two sides on mod valve....shifts like a dream!!...
