I'm looking for a street strip valve body for the 4r70w. I search performance automatic's website but wasn't able to find it on there. What are your opinions on it? Is upshifting and downshifting totally safe? And there IS still a "drive" gear so it will automaticly shift right? Are the manual shifts instant?

I can't get it up......ok that didn't sound right.
As I've said before, upshifting in the auto is fine. Downshifting, is bad. Personally, if you want to shift your car, you need a manual valve body. The only draw back is you have to do all the shifts yourself, which you might like. If you're just looking for a good shift kit that will let you up**** and nail gears I recommend the Jerry mod shift kit. However, if you want a good manual valve body, have you tried checking with Performance automatic and Lentech transmissions?

I was under the impression they had a "street strip valve body" which wasn't full manual but would allow upshifts as well as downshifts without stressing the tranny. I did find this valve body, but it says 96 and up AODE, doesn't mention the 99+ 4r70w

It should work. Email them and ask them if it will because I'm pretty sure it will work. I know Jimfitgerald is using a manual valve body from PA.
