you missed it man. a while ago HI98GS was selling his spare valvebody, that would be a good "loaner"

 

Anyone know of a place here in SoCal that works with upgrading the VB???????

 

I dont think anybody here in so cal upgrades VB.

Only company i know of that does it would be

Turboeast, Toyomoto?, SRT, Peter Farrell Supercars, and maybe Boost-Logic

they are all out of state

 

I think we did a few, wait did I say that already?

 

I thought you already knew we dont listen to you

 

I think you're right

At least my dog pretends to eagerly listen to me

 

hey todd, how much is it to do it at your place? Whats the turnaround?

 

XS Engineering in Huntington Beach can do it.

Also California Performance Transmissions in Huntington Beach.

Art the owner is in the Hot Rodding hall of fame
That is where I had mine done. I just left the whole car there for a couple of days
Very nice upgrade.
I have the 3.76 LSD and 2800 rpm TC and RMM SC and rarely hit the rev-limiter.
Shifts are really fast

Damn man - nice upgrades. Now what kind of power are you making with that setup?

Hi Jonny

I was excited to see you got the VB upgrade. I love it the stock tranny just shifts so slow and gentle.

I got the VB upgrade at California Performance Transmissions and I think they charged me
$450 or $500 I'd have to look it up

I had the RMM SC installed at RMM in Huntington Beach. I bought it off another member here who bought it from them and had them take it off.

Then I took it over to XS Engineering in Huntington Beach where they install the S-AFAC2 and did the tuning. They said they could do the VB upgrade for $650. I had already made arrangements at Cal Perf Trans so I just let XS do the tuning. It is so cool all three of these places are within a few miles of each other.


Anyway you wanted some numbers.
I went with one of the conservative pulleys the 3.33.
I got a dyno of 360rwhp and 309lbs of torque.
This was at the end of April this year and I just love the power.
Of course I constantly keep my foot in it

My mom said what do you need a supercharger for ?
( I was staying with her while I was in California )
Well you don't need one unless you really feel the need to go 0-60 in 4.5 to 4.9 sec.
Which I feel Ithe need to do.

I love getting shoved back in the seat. It is the greatest feeling.


So Jonny when I you going to buy one. I've seen 2 for sale here recently?

Damn man - sounds like a blast!!! I need boost!! Awesome numbers

Hopefully soon I will be able to buy one if all goes well - but knowing my luck there won't be one available!!

Thx man,
Jonny

 

Ivan, is that with remove/install included?

 

Yes it is
Call them up Andy and Art are the two guys to talk to.
Plan on leaving the car there for a couple of days. It really is a big improvement.
Ivan

 

Yeah, was that the price ($450-500) for the full job? Did they drop the valve body, do the upgrade and re-install it or did you have to bring them the valve body already dropped from the tranny. This is something I need to get done in the next month or so.

Thanks

Ken

Edit:: Lol, you just answered my questions in your post..

 

My guy pulled mine out, we shipped it out and had the upgrade shipped back. I supplied 5 quarts of Amsoil ATF and he put the new upgrade in. He charged me $150,
