Considering a transmission swap for my '92 Metro

I just finished reading through MetroMPG's old transmission swap thread for his '98 Metro as I myself am considering changing my transmission from the 3 cylinder to the 4 cylinder model. (I actually have to replace the transmission anyway, and I have to decide fairly soon).

I couldn't tell from his thread if he had the xfi cam installed at the time of changing transmissions, but I myself already have the xfi cam, and I'm just wondering if anyone has experience of how it will drive. (I've noticed since switching to the xfi cam, I change gears a lot earlier than I used to, so I'm thinking that this would probably put me back up to around where I was before, in terms of shift speeds).

Just wondering if anyone else has experience with doing the xfi cam swap + swapping in the 4-cylinder transmission as well / curious if it would be any different on an older model like mine. (From what I understand, they haven't changed much about it, given that MetroMPG used a 4 cylinder tranny from the 88-94 range for his '98).

Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
