I agree that for alot of people the shift kit would work great, but the would atleast need a good report on the installers previous customers .

I will agree with ya Chad on the Torque Shift Trans. My 04 6.0 with the SCT shifted like a built dodge trans with nothing more than a SCT.

The ProLoc setup is designed for racing applications. So I could see where the shifting would be to radical for ya.

There is nothing wrong with a Transgo Shift Kit. We were just saying there is a big difference between putting a Transgo kit in a stock VB than buying an aftermarket high performance VB.

For instance, I emailed Olee and asked him what he used in his VB's and this is the reply I got:

"I don't use any kits like trans-go.. I have all parts and springs made for me.

Olee"

so if your going to have someone install it that knows what they are doing than the TFOD is the way to go but if your looking for an out of the box throw it in and go VB then get as built one?

I saw a local transmission builder that has been building transmissions for 27 yrs install a shift kit. He had to drop the pan and pull the VB out 4 times until it shifted correctly.

Thats because the Torque shift transmission's valve bodys are nothing but a bunch of solenoids and can be changed in the tuning with an SCT. But I will agree they are a nice trans with aftermarket tuning and seem to hold up fairly well and bump gears nice, their stock torque converters have much better fluid coupling than our dodges.
