     The shift kit replaces some parts in the valvebody and just firms up the shifts. Generally people that replace the valve body are upgrading to a manual or one of the "hold" valve bodies. The shift kit will work prett ywell and is recommended, the mileage on your trans should not be an issue. I have never used the scat seats though and cant tell you much about them.

     

    here is a little onfo on each-
