ackuric, are you saying a new valve body could have about the same results as a shift kit?

^ A valve body would be better than a shift kit. My take, get gears, shift kit and a stall/torque converter and you wont need to manually shift, even though im sure it will still happen. Transgo has a new HD3 shift kit that is suppose to turn the auto into a full fledged manual but not to many people know about it yet. You could try lookin into that.

it cancels out the chance of shop error, not every shop is familiar with our valve body. buy one from a respected company. yes you will have exactly the same results. thats the main change in the 'shift kit', valve body modification.
