I personally seem to have noticed a difference both ways.

Also to clarify with regards to my prior post about the "hardest" setting; I wasn't putting it down as it depends on your needs and what you want to do with your car. Just a hands-on experience reminder that the farther you go with your car sometimes, the more wear you can put on certain components. Option 3 I would recommend to hardcore racers only

Either way the VB is a must if you want your tranny to shift correctly, and even though Don is doing it for $350 now, he doesn't communicate with his customers, much less listen to them when they ask for their money back after waiting more than just a couple of months for their product to be sent to them. I paid the guy and had to send him about a dozen mails before getting sick of it and deciding to find another means to get my VB done (and the guy that I handed it off to had not much better luck).

I made the drive from the other side of the great lakes (about 8 hours total when you count pit stops and 3pm NYC rush hour long weekend traffic) to Jeff's shop, and it certainly was worth it.

Happy modding people!

 

mwahahah, im back jeff! I havent talked to you in a while, sounds like you got quite a deal goin on...i am going to try to stop down soon...THe Corvette is supposed to be coming to you, maybe you could throw a VB in there... j/k...i will be down soon, glad to see everything is going well...tell Mikey i said whats up too...

 

ygm

 

yo people..this mods not open to questioning..if you guys get this gd..itll be one of the best 325 uve spent on your maxes yet.
Jers gotta supercharged max..lives EIGHT HOURS AWAY!?!?!? worth every penny..that just tells u enough id think..lol and im like 20 min away..so u know how i feel of course

 

I live about 25min away. I dropped mines off on Fri night and picked it up Sat. morning.. Definitely worth the $$ for the mod. Off the line or just going WOT you feel the gears pop right in instead of that lagging shift..

 

Hey Brian, I just fixed that american piece af crap! just kiddin, I actually like Vettes.
We're doing these VB's on Altimas, Sentras and Toyotas too.

 

Jeff...are you still looking for 3rd gen guinea pigs? I just got clued onto this thread today actually. I would be more than willing to come up early october and donate the ride for a day or so. I'll probably have the solenoids done as well since I am at about 130K miles on the original tranny *knocks on wood*

 

ha...what was wrong with it? I am going to try and stop down Friday, i dont have classes...but i have work, so im going to try and stop down and say hello, havent been down in a long time...

 

We're actually doing 3rd gens now too.
CorvetteKid, Needed ans O2 sens and a tune up. Stop by.

 

Hey Maxxtuningusa. How are the kits going? When are u goin got release them?

 

sounds good,i may go with option #2 or #3
cant make up my mind.
i have boost

 

Is it still possible for a me to get in on this? I have a 2k2 auto and would need to do the core swap. Let me know Matt.

 

for $325 bucks im in and i will drive up there since i live in CT

 

We're doing a 2k2 tomorrow. I believe the VB's are the same. If so a core is no prob. If not I'll have to see if there available.

 

thanks for the quick response I will be in wait for the answer

 

jeff i was wondering if i could send you back the 2nd stage and get a 3rd stage instead?

also do you know where i could get a factory vb? just incase i find a buyer to buy my car.

thanks man. ill know if it was worth if after saturday.

 

Jeff,

I want to call you for this, but I want to confirm my appointment on either the 18/19. I will be driving from Milwaukee to Glen Cove on Friday the 18. It will be a tranny flush, installing VB and solenoids, attaching the tranny cooler (it's here), and changing the fuel filter/PCV valve.

I will call you either tomorrow or Thursday this week to work the details. This post is just want to give you a heads up.

You know, which one is the better day? Friday 7pm the 18th? Or Saturday at 11am the 19th?

Thanks,

Armand

 

just had my VB mod done 2night ...and wow ..i love it ..great work to jeff and his tranny man matt !

i ran it 2night up against a 300z ..and i was on him like white on rice..the ride was shifting hard n quick ..i felt like i was in a 5 speed for a second ...

great work ...

took about an hour 2 do ...

guy dont wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get on it !!!!!!!

 

if i went to maximum tuning everyday, i'd end up meeting everyone on the org

 

GoldenGlory,

Which VB mod did you get? The number 2 (Street/strip) or number 3 (racing only)?

Seems to me that I have to wait since my trip to Detroit got postphoned

 

# 2 street strip ...

i just went for another spin..i was chrippin into 2nd... not hard..but u heard it... now i understand what W O T means!!

jesus my intake was screamin 2night !!

 

GoldenGlory,

Congrats.... it seems that number 2 will be the one that I will get. I need to talk with my boss regarding scheduling things with Detroit/New York jobs.....

 

will u freakin bastard...go to hell...u didnt tell me u were doing the VB too
and jeff...im giving you a call 2moro!!

 

speak of the devil..i thought u broke ur hand since u havent called me in a while !

 

actually my cell's been disconnected for the last week...friday nights seem to be busy for me lately

 

what a way to avoid ur ex-girlfriend....

asides from gettin drunk on fridays ?

u should hang out with jeff a lil more often then ...

 

You said to call to get info on the solenoids and core availability, well, where/what # do we call?

-A

I wanna torque convertor too, dang it!

 

(516)676-8470

Blubyu, 2k2 is no prob. If you need a core I need to know if you have LSD or you can just give me the tranny code.

Will, stop beating on your car!!

 

i break it u fix it ...

lol

 

will, did u win the lottery or are you making sum kinda cash under the table? gimme sum money if so...stop making jeff's life hectic, making him do your VB and front end and all this other junk...so jeff, 4get will, stop answering his phone calls...when we doin this stuff to my car?? hehe

 

where is the shop located and what would be the total cost for a level 2 VB plus solenoids? I should be ready within a week or two and i live in CT so im willing to spend the day in NJ.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by GoldenGlory
[B]..if only my car could curse in minutes.. i'd be flying everywhere.. o well

 

 

what i meant was a 100 mph minimum

 

so your cursing at 100mph now why are you so mad going so fast
