I haven't seen any actual details, but may be interested.
Cost?
Process - payment and communication with SGP?
Timeline for SGP turnaround - one at a time or all at once?
Last day to get in groupbuy?

I have the TN kit w/ no internal engine mods (354 whp on mustang dyno) & don't drive the car hard all the time. Just once in a awhile (when needed) would like to be able to punch to the floor w/o worrying about the tranny. Would this VB upgrade allow my transmission to safely shift automatically at WOT on Auto mode w/o hitting the rev limiter & risking damage?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

I did both the VB and TC on my own in the garage on Jack stands. The VB is not that hard but a little scary as a mistake could result in some serious tranny problems. Um, don't try the TC alone unless you are crazy. I got it done but it was not easy as the Auto tranny is pretty hard to manuever, even on a jack, and getting to some of the frickin bolts that hold it to the engine and the wiring harnesses that have to be removed, aaahhh having nightmares as I type. Still took less time than installing the Crawford Headers

with the power you have maybe first will hit once or twice in AT mode since the tranny is not made for such power and does not reconize when to change but in manual mode you can bet money on it that it will shift as soon as you want.

Anyone here know for certain if the FX35 shares tranny compononents with the G/Zs? I know Stillen would do the VB upgrade on my FX if I wanted, I'm looking to the the SGP VB and TC if possible.

Hitting the rev limiter means the fuel is getting cut, you want to avoid this whenever possible. If you ECU hasn't learned down to a slower mode, hitting the rev limiter in Auto with FI is easy and should be avoided.
