Has anyone tried one of these? pro/cons? I have a auto tranny and think the little extra rpm might help a little

One of the reasons I don't like auto tranny's in trucks is they shift when they want to irregardless of what governor spring you have installed. SO no I don't think it will help.

Others will chime in I'm sure. I could be wrong. (and frequently am)

Unless you have a manual valve body, or set your TV cable up so the shift points on the tranny are higher then a 3800 spring won't wake much difference over a 3200.
