Go to GTMotorsports in Rancho Cucamonga. www.gtmotorsports.com

Other than that all you can do is a full build which runs 3-4k. Ask GTM, they can help you. They're the only people I know of in Cali that can upgrade our trannys.

I have a Stillen VB upgrade. The above posts are correct. $9,000 to repair the damage caused by their VB. It's OK though because they did reimburse me $3,000.

Personally, I would go with the TransGo kit that GTM sells for $250. All they manufacture is performance shift kits and it can be installed by any skilled mechanic or transmission shop.

Speaking of that, I've asked a few times how much a typical install from a shop would cost but haven't been able to get anyone to reply. You have any idea? You guys ever throw around the idea of trying to install a Transgo kit yourself at you nifty shop?

Is the transGo Kit as good as the VB upgrade?
