I paid 300 for my 3.5 VLSD Pumpkin a year ago. I sold it around the same amount bc it started making a whine sound.
Currently on the hunt for a 3.3 VLSD later this spring. Hopefully it'll be the same if not cheaper and I can install it along with a Transgo VB and Trans oil cooler.
I think so
I haven't heard anything different from anyone on the forums RE: the 3.7FD Pumpkin swap

chances are if it's 3.5, its vlsd.
If its juts the R&P gears, that's a rip-off.

Of the 2, Transgo receives better reviews than Stillen. But the people that say Stillen is no better than stock are missing something... I've driven two cars with Stillen and its much better than stock.
Anyway - it doesn't matter who installs it - Transgo is the kit you probably should consider (Forged and GTM are popular for this kit - but smaller shops have installed it as well).

Its for AT - its a valve body kit that makes shifts crisper and firmer - some dont like the term "quicker" but I'd call it it quicker.
Transgo cost $250... install ranges from $300-$800 depending on where you go... not many shops can/will do this.
*Edit - wait are you asking about the VB kit (recently discussed) or Final Drive?... FD is ring & pinion gears in the rear end - not a power mod... basically akin to smaller sprocket on a 10 speed bike...
