Smile Valve Body for 5AT

I spoke with Maximum Tuning in NY this afternoon. They have developed a valve body fo the Alti's and I was hopeful they could help out with us. I was suprised when he said no one had called requesting this. Anyway, he will do some research and call me back later next week. I would like to upgrade the VB, TC and possibly change the shift points. Strangest off all - he has had several requests from Lexus SC430 owners. I thought these were bought mostly by older baby boomers.

Sweet, keep us posted. A TC for us would be very cool.

Thanks for giving them the suggestion, maybe it'll become a reality.

I had a TC on my SC400 made by Precision Industries. It made a big difference. However, now that I have a procharger I have little traction as it is off the line. I would be very interested in shift points and the valve body upgrade. Please keep us informed.

It recalibrates your VB so that it shifts in a certain matter for example......

stock upgrade-Improves shifting to extend tranny life without sacrificing a comfortable ride.

street/strip- greatly quickens 1-2 shift and slightly quickens 2-3 shift to improve tranny life(especially on vehicles with modified engines) Good for everyday driver/weekend racer looking for sreetable performance.

Race-Very hard 1-2 shift. Car will most likly "chirp" wheels under hard accelertation. Hard shifts will be noticed at all times.
