Not to kill anyone’s sale here just dome FYI. But this I heard from one of the makers if your tranny is slipping already putting a VB will most likely kill it quicker because of the aggressive shifts. But the better condition you tranny is in the more effective and long lasting this mod will be.

I'd stick with our ForgedInternals VB upgrade, or the SGP upgrade. Both are nearly identical in terms of performance and operation. I consider a VB upgrade manditory for FI on the VQ35 5AT's. http://www.forgedinternals.com/store...cat=261&page=1

need to get an VB upgrade also. I heard the SGP shifts real hard...which is not what im looking for. how does your compare? anybody on the board have a review of this VB?

I'm considering the Stillen also. from the posts people complaining about it say it doesnt shift too aggressive enough....which maybe what im looking for. besides it sucking...any better review of why it sucks?

oh yah, im an old fart w/ a G35 sedan..going F1 w/ APS TT as soon as i figure out how to upgrade the AT

. this'll be my daily driver...

I highly recommend the VB upgrade from Forged. See my comments here.

I have a aps tt with the SGP and im happy as hell. it only shifts hard if your in it and shift. it takes a little getting use to but i think it's worth it. this is my daily also.
