If the proper sized shims are used and installed correctly, the shift is obnoxiously hard.

Honestly, this is one of my beefs with the Intense/ ZZP kits. I'm of the opinion that the strongest setting shouldn't even be offered because it has a tendency to put extra stress on the input shaft, especially when combined with a PCM that has increased line pressure. It's reasons like this you need to be a little cautious when shopping with Intense. Their website is (IMO) a freezeframe of how people used to do things in 2004, right down to the limited slip differentials.
Your last statement is why I dislike all the poor results from reading all of their tech articles that, like you said...have been there since '05 or older...I for once would like a vendor site, maybe even your own...that had some sort of a detailed guide to make smarter decisions...for those individuals that DON'T tend to research things...for example...that follow ZZP's recommendations and have a 180*, colder plugs, and a catback...and think they have enough room to drop to a 3.4"...like my Safely Modding Thread. Just so we have less misinformed guys out there...or who are making safer decisions on their cars...

Fair enough on the shift kit response though; but honestly I couldn't tell you. I bought it when I bought with my cam and headers so I hadn't done anything internal wise yet...I had the gasket install kit and everything from ZZP in a pretty decently sized box...and my shift kit was in a roll of plastic wrap with some half head instructions that irritated me for the most part. I had never done anything transmission replated prior to that install so I was happy that it still worked LOL
