READ THE STICKIES. Its a modification of your trasnmission, Its not something you buy and install. Theres a place in NY that does it that has a website but I just cant think of the name right now.

Your going to have to find someone else to do it. I'm not sure but I would think just about any transmission shop could do it but I would just call around to some places. I've heard prices around $300-$400.

300-400$
... 
Shouldn't be more than 90$, or an hour or 2 of your time at home .. get a haynes or read the stickys(5th gen stickys have a good write-up) Same as changing fluid out with a few more bolts ...

I think he was quoting the price to actually mod the valve body. If so then hes right on.

You send it to maximum tuning .. they modify it .. you put the modified one in, same as a 'replacement' hence its place in the haynes manual.

.... He should be more clear though .. but you're correct, and I may have jumped the gun as always.

Ok here is the deal.
Maximum Tuning sells them already modified for $600. There is a $200 core charge in that price. So that being said the final price would be $400 after you return a stock valve body to them. Then you need to get it installed. Prices vary from $50 - $100. Good luck hunting.

Not worth the price ... DR mod is better if you can do a WOT switch
I have a stage II.5 on my 03 and DR mod on my 95 .. 95 doesn't have enough power to justify it(VB mod $).
Extended rev limtier helps more(w/VI of course) since you can shift later in the rev range and be ain a beefier spot when entering next gear... if stock limiter is used, you end up in a dead spot in the 1-2 shift w/ DR/VB .. do NOT ask about the DR mod... better yet check the stickys.

wait.... im confused the 90 dollars you stated above, were u talking about installation price? or to actually bore out the vb?
i want to get this done but 400dollars for .1 second gain? is it really worth it in your opinion?

I didnt buy it for the track. I bought it because I have a Vq35 and want to do everything possible to extend the life of my transmission. If I was at the track I would say that it would be worth it. .1 of a second is a alright gain for one modification plus it extends the life of the transmission that you are beating on. But then again, I dont like to comprimise on what I put into my car. Id rather spend a little more money to have quality stuff.
