However when you get on it and the RPMs are up, the line pressures in the transmission go up and the time in between shifts go down. It will feel like you are popping the clutch in an MT and you'll be easily chirping gears.

Additional clutch packs are only needed if the stock ones can't hold the power.
Clutchpacks are generally what go bad and cause for rebuild, aren't they?

I mean, they're the weakest link...valvebody helps keep the pressure up to the solenoids, but other than that, the weakest mechanical link to it all is the clutches AFAIK.
