Shift kit choice
Reply #2 –
Its all in if you think you can modify the valve body yourself. Couple of very small parts you need to not lose and make sure you re-install them where they were, and being able to drill a very small hole in a specific location within probably 1/16" accuracy (the valve body ports are about 1/8" wide). Its not too bad, I know it didnt take me quite as long as the manual predicts, the biggest thing I spent time on was checking and checking and rechecking that I did what I was told correctly and where I was told to do it.
You can also increase your shift points to an extent, without the governor kit. I cant speak for the Transgo but the Baumann gives you a lot of options.
That all being said, in YOUR case I might go with silver foxs VB seeing as hes done it, done it right, it IS a good unit, and its close by. Just unbolt the like 25 or so bolts that hold the VB in, new one in, done.
