SGP 5AT valve body - VIDEO!

You could, but you'd be spending more later. Its best to have the TC,VB and CP done at same time. CP works involves in rebuilding the tranny, which means you'd have to ship the whole tranny to shop. CP is the weakest link on a FI 5AT tranny. VB and TC will not alone protect your tranny, only improves performance. Rebuilding tranny will improve performance and reliability when you have FI.

I have the TN kit w/ no internal engine mods (354 whp on mustang dyno) & don't drive the car hard all the time (no track racing). 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?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

The reason Tim says he will only do the clutch packs only on a full rebuild is beacuse he using the stock clutch plates.
which are most likely used, due to the fact you can't even get stock replacements yet.
so as of right know if your clutch packs go then your best bet is to find another transmission w/ low miles.
if any one is interested I have a connect on transmissions fromm 1200miles to about 15k miles prices very from around 1400-3000k

If I get aftermarket plenum and upgrade to 2.5" or 3" exhaust can probably get another 40-50+horses around 8.5-9psi, tuned slightly aggresive.

Maybe level 10 has been in the game for a while but the only thing i heard from SGP's VB is good things about it.
I have heard that level ten had some problems with a few customers.

Only Level has the core exchange program though and they do their own VB work. SGP sends VB work to So.Cal. I believe.
