I built a 727 a few months ago for my street (and occasional strip) car. I removed the stock weight for a "5600 RPM" weight from A&A. There is a noticeable difference when just holding them in your hand. I noticed though afterwards that the trans shifts really quick now. It doesn't lose any RPM's when shifting, but it will shift into high gear in about 250-300' in normal driving conditions. The car is deadly consistent though (Thanks in part to the fresh Select Converter!)...
