Ok right on, damn my lack of knowledge on this car. That's good to know because I plan on getting the car tuned after buying all the bolt ons that I want. Should make for a really fun reliable daily

VB mod is one of the best mods Ive ever done. just make sure to get a good quality and large trans cooler with it. Also as long as the install is done very good according to instructions it should be fine. It still has shift delay but shifts are way crisper under throttle and you definitely feel it grab harder.

Has anyone here done a built 5 speed A/T transmission. I'm not talkin about a valve body up grade. But a full build. And if so how did it work out??

Depends on the power and how the car is used. I've had a built tranny for about 1.5 years, with just under 500wtq and many track days mine is still holding up fine. Although, I've seen many builds that were tracked with over 550wtq having issues with the transmissions slipping over time. At lower power levels a built tranny should last a while.

491whp/483wtq. Yes, the VB upgrade does allow the tranny to shift faster than stock.
