Too late to install a Transgo kit?

Too late to install a Transgo kit?
Hi,
I have a 2004.5 G35 sedan that has 51+K miles of normal daily driving. At 30K miles I did an semi-flush of the tranny and the ATF was red and clear. The transmission behave normally with its regular lags and stuff... nothing weird. My question is: Is there a time limit or millage when the solenoids of the VB might fail due to the upgraded shift kit? Is there a point when it is too risky to upgrade the VB? I know that this upgrade re-calibrate the transmission reducing slippage making each shift faster and more efficient but does this improvement put a burden on the solenoids? I have this question posted in driver aswell but I haven't received any answers.
Thanks

I have the VB upgrade too. Granted I only have 37K on my car but I dont see a reason why 50K would be anything but fine with the upgrade. If you want some piece of mind get a tranny cooler it will keep the little extra heat that is produced by the new VB down back to normal if not cooler.

A trans cooler is a good idea on these cars (which I didn't know until monitoring temps, which you could do to decide for yourself).
The decision to put in a VB should not be affected by the age of the transmission. It will result in firmer shifts. That said, I don't know that I'd bother if not increasing the load on the transmission (e.g. FI).
