    I am currently in the middle of a trans rebuild and I am staring at the valve body. What Kind of upgrades do you guys recomend for a lightly modded vehicle.

    I know of the usual buy and bolt on mods, but are there any modifications that could/should be done that should be done to the VB itself (aka drillin' out holes or whatnot.)

    Yes, do talk to trannyman95 (aka Dave Norris at Tripleedgeperformance.com)

    The tools required to do a complete VB overhaul are very expensive; he's got them all and will do it all for a reasonable price.

    Improvise what?

    I know what is out there in the way of sonnax, but i know that on other transmissions there are modifications that "should have" been done at the factory. From what I have gathered, which is nothing, I diddn't know if there were mods that should be done (other than the usual off the shelf stuff).

    See what i mean?
