Why isn\'t Kickdown Necessary?

I have a D5, pan fill, rollerized C-4 in my 79 Coupe with 351W. It has the Gregaust stage IV valve body modification from burly4x4.com. I hooked up a Lokar C-4 kickdown cable, and my friend says that the kickdown is not necessary. I disagree. I feel that at WOT on the strip, with a basically stock V.B., I need all the line pressure I can get for the firmest of shifts. I'm no expert, but I'm hoping somebody here more knowledgeable can explain WHY it is, or is not necessary. Thanks for any replys.

I agree that kickdown is a good thing to have on a car with an automatic VB. Like you said the kickdown can increase line pressure and that will help the tranny live on the high HP shifts.
Don't know if I am enough of an expert to do the job for you though.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]
