I know I'm a bit late to the discussion, but here's my 2 cents on the subject.
I have the same exact setup - 88 GW, AMC 360 with TF727, installed ProFlo 4 earlier this year and used the same Lokar cable. I was somewhat concerned about TV linkage myself, but mostly about the fact that ratio between TV lever travel at the tranny and arm travel on PF4 throttle body is not 1:1 like it was supposed to be (and used to be with stock 2150 carb). I tried making a "geometry corrector" (couple picture are in
this post of my build thread) to get the matching travel, but it ended up in tranny shifting too early and slipping during shifts. After 2 days I removed that corrector and adjusted cable to pull lever all the way back at WOT.
I've found a good explanation of how TV works in Motortrends
The LowDown On Stock Torqueflite Kick-Down Linkage article:
As the kick-down linkage/cable pushes the kick-down lever rearward, it increases line pressure inside the trans and initiates a downshift. "If you adjust the cable so the lever is at the front of its travel range at idle, the line pressure will not increase properly as the throttle increases," Jason Muckala of Motech Performance explains. "This makes the trans shift too early, and it can cause the clutches to slip and destroy the transmission. I've seen people install springs to hold the lever forward, but it's not supposed to stay in that position at idle." This photo shows the lever full forward; in this portion of the lever's arc you can feel no pushback from the lever, an indication that no increase in line pressure is occurring.
Somewhere in this range of the lever's arc, you can feel a slight resistance from the lever's internal spring. This is where the line pressure begins to rise, ultimately causing a downshift. Properly dialing in the lever's range of motion is critical to shift performance and transmission longevity. Says Jason: "For the first half of its travel range, there is very little resistance and the lever does nothing. At the halfway point, you can feel where it starts to hit the valve inside the trans, and that's the position the lever must be in at idle."
At WOT, the kick-down lever should be positioned at the end of its range of travel. This ensures accurate shift points and a proper increase in line pressure.
As I understand it, internal pressure and the spring on the inside should be enough to keep lever at about 1/3 of travel from most forward position. If yours doesn't do it, might be because of dirt inside (when was the last ATF/filter change?) or TV spring getting weaker. So your added spring provides some assist to keep lever in a correct position, and as long as it's not too strong (that it'll prevent full lever travel) and if there are no other issues with tranny, I'd say it's fine.
Maybe change fluid, filter and flush tranny cooler if it's been a minute since last time
