tranny rebuild and 2nd gen valve body

What up org. Just wanted to let you know that I have decied to have a tranny rebuild and the valve body put in at maximumtuning.
I have been wanting a valve body for some time now but always had the thought in the back of my mind that if a I spent $450 on the mod then the tranny goes then I would have to spend an addtional $1900 to get it rebuild.
I have a 1995 with 95,500 miles original tranny. Shifting okay and slugish but no leaking or slipping. Just thought to do it once the right way and get the mod included.
I will be posting what happens on this tread. I don't know of anyone who has had a tranny rebuilt from Jeff but if you had please let me know how it went.
Any thoughts will be apprecated.
95' are

Well I picked up the car yesterday at 7:00 pm. I dropped her of on Sat. i felt the difference right away.
The Vb did give a thump when shifting and the shifts are faster. The anoying lag is gone for the most part. The tranny feels strong and well "New". I had always had babied the tranny since it was the original and I didn't want to burn it, but I now drive a little bit more aggresive now. Can't help it the VB makes it so much fun. I had wanted to go with strip, but was advised against it due to "HARSH" shifting. After driving the car about 23 miles so far in traffic and open highway I found myself wanting a much more agressive shift. Its just gives me the illustion that I got some major touque under the hood. I'm thinking aboout a V2 supercharger now. As I had never had this much fun driving the max.
In all the VB is a great mod.
The added confidence of a rebult tranny feels great no more granny driving.
And Jeff threw in a my knock sensor install for free to boot.
They did a great job so far if anything creeps up I'll post to let you guys know.
