Anyone have any luck with after market valve bodies for our E4OD's ? My trany is holding gears fine. But after installing my BDP stage I's, the shift's are sloppy. I've done the only mod's I know of (see sig.), but I'm wondering if a complete valve body change will do anything to help ?

P.S. I know, I know, a call to BTS is in my near future [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/phoney.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/phoney.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/phoney.gif[/img]

Your Sonnex kit is probably just as good as any other valvebody mod you find out there. If you want to help yourself out a bit you might do a heavy duty TC. The E4OD TC is simply junk.

One reason I've stayed away from bigger injectors and a chip is my stock transmission and torque converter. You might be wise to upgrade your torque converter and put in a Transgo Shift kit. If you plan to tow heavy load add a Transgo Hugger Kit to the list. Just my opinion though...nothing else [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/phoney.gif[/img]

Here is the Tugger Kit by transgo...... also if you contact Richter69 (he replied about three posts up) he can set you up with what you need for TC and shift kit.

the std HD2 kit is fine for almost all applictions, the tugger kit is geared more towards towing with additional valve body work which should really be left to a pro to install, teh reg HD2 kit si easy enough to do your self as it only is the accumaltor body, if you go into teh valve body itelf you must move or replace balls in there, which is hard to do upside down.
