Finally decided to get a valve body from LFP. Dang! You guys weren't joking about a valve body being the best bang for the buck mod. Anyone thinking about it, you're money couldn't be better spent. LFP hooked me up with one for a great price. :rockon:
New Valve Body...
- Thread starter Blown is Better
- Start date
I love my FTVB. I think it should be the first mod anyone does on their truck. I should have put mine in, before my 6# lower. It was more than worth it.
what kind of deal did you get?
wich ftvb do you have DAVE.Nvr_Spds said:
I have the 2C i believe it is? I didnt know there was more than one when i bought it from a SVTP member.
so does it shift firm at crusing and hard at WOT. i just bought a 2c also. getting it this week. does it need a tune, or just plug and play.Nvr_Spds said:

No tuning required, as long as your line pressure hasnt been raised in your tune. Under cruising, you can feel a very light kick, but floor it, and it hits pretty damn hard. I love it.

i feel retarded, i cant seem to find the "LFPVB Stage2...................................$189.00"
what is the diff from the stage one?
Mark, your Stage IIs are only 189? I might be selling my FTVB for that. I remember you saying they shifted HARD!!
The LFPVB " Hard " shifting is a Stage2. We rarely sell this stage. LFP does not even list this piece. It is not recommended for the street. That brings us to our Stage1 this is our base performance valve body we have been selling for years. Some have asked for a VB slightly less aggressive, Just a bit softer around town. This would be our Stage1M.

how much do you gain in the 1/4 mile?
My apology for the type-o. Our original model is the LFPVB Stage1. Our slightly softer around town model is our Stage1M ( or modified stage1 ). Our strip only version is our Stage2.

LOL..yeah I installed mine and went and picked my g/f up to go out. I told her to sit back in her seat, cuz she likes to lean across the arm rest to change the radio(even though I always tell her no too) well she didnt and I punched it and it shifted from 1st to second and all I hear is BANG...
It turned out to be her head aganst the back window. It was soo hard not to laugh! :loser: I think I taught her a lesson!

That's funny right there, I'm guessing she wasn't hurt or too mad?
I hear ya man. Better luck next time.
would you recommend i take it to a shop to get installed or is it decently not hard. I have tools etc. just never messed with a tranny. How much did yall pay to haev it installed?
You can install it...it is not hard at all! I was going to take it to a shop..they quoted me over $200 bucks! So I decided to do it...took me about an hour and a half and 20 bucks...the hardest part was waiting for all of the fluid to drain...Its a 1 out of 10 in difficulty.

there sth link to instructions...you'll need 8+ quarts of Mercon/Dextron III NOT mercon V. And make sure you torque the bolts to the right specs.
