Humm.
Crickets.
Well might I suggest you install one, post up the process and give us your opinion.
Oh, and tell us more about the twin hair dryers and that mod monster!
Did you build that crazy intake yourself? Love it! Tell us more!

I put the engine together about 3 years ago. It has eagle stroker kit 302 ci pi heads ported crower springs and valves custom ground cams that were for a vortech v2 with bullitt intake. that setup made 540 at rear wheel with 4r70w and 4.10 gears. I got bored during the winter and it ended up twin turbo with new intake and a 4150 holley blow thru and rebuilt trans and new converter. That lasted the next summer and winter came back and engine got changed again to what it is now it does have manual valve body now. never had any engine problems and I beat the crap out of it every time I drive it vortech I ran 12 psi now with turbos its around 18 psi. I made the intake distributor setup headers engine plate pretty much every thing.

Huh,..who'd a thunk it? Another guy on here named Mike that does crazy sht.

If it already has a full manual valve body in it, why are you thinking about the transgo kit?

I got the trans go kit a day after I posted pulled trans out pulled it apart and the forward clutch was burnt so replaced them all. the one thing with the trans go kit I didn't like was how they want you to put the vacuum modulator in. they said to put line pressure valve in then modulator then a spacer in between it and shift selector shaft and it would move around I did not like that. I drilled and taped the valve to hold modulator in it the made a bracket to hold it in the trans with one of the bolts of the valve body now it doesn't move around and bother me anymore. put back in car and works like it should. that was the only part of the trans go kit that I didn't like
