Had to reduce hp because of this auto tranny
When I installed my Y & B pipes and intake system I noted a rise in my shift rpm. Now that cool weather is here my engine is making even more hp and actually hits the revlimiter before it shifts. I had to removed my K & N intake, reinstalled my factory intake and now it shifts at about 6400 rpm. This is perfect. No more hitting the revlimiter at around 6700 rpm. I have less hp but might actually pick up et due to much better shifts. When summer gets here and my engine is making less hp I will probably be able to reinstall the K & N.
Some have posted that I need a valve body to bring the shifts down. The only company noted doesn't answer emails. If anybody knows where to find a valve body or any other means of lowing shift points I can go back to my K & N intake and get my hp gains back.

Who's that only company? If it's Don, don't worry he'll respond eventually, and will get you the VB. Also eventually.
Try calling Maxximum Tuning - they do the VB mod and a good job of it too.

Do you have Don's email address or phone number?
How much are modified Valve bodies? How easy to install? Will this allow for me to adjust my shift points myself? I don't mind spending money as long as I get the results I need. Thanks!
