It doesn't really smooth shifting, it just does it quicker. Rather than having a drawn out shift, it shifts quicker. I guess that is the best I can describe it.
Now to the original question. If your 5.3 is getting up there, you can get complete junk yard 5.3's under 500 bucks and start building that up with a cam, headers, throw some 243/799 heads on it and get a stall for your trans and that should be one quick 5.3.

Where are you located? Dan (DV200NJ) is in the process of a swap, he may sell you his. Its a 4.8, but you could make that motor scream too.

:dunno:
