I believe RMM sends their valve body upgrade work to Level 10. I have a Level 10 transmission in my GS400 with the valve body upgrade. I cannot tell the difference between it and stock. Level 10 tells me if I install a S/C I'll notice a difference, but I don't know if I'm going to go there.
The valve body upgrade is supposed to make the shifts more firm, but like I said - I cannot tell the difference between my transmission and the old stock one.

Mr Johnson thanks for the link. I did not understand your opinion on the LSD. Did it make your car handle better around corner or did it provide too much traction, or did you slip out of the corner and loose the cars rear end?

Mark: It provided more traction than I was used to initially. I was used to when the rear would break free and start sliding so I could control it. Now the rear stayed planted for longer and then broke free a little more suddenly. It is a great traction improvement but I just need to re-learn.

Mark,
My 1/4 mile times did not change as a result of the new transmission w/valve body upgrade. I only have times from my G-Tech meter which range from 13.7 to 13.9. The G-Tech is supposed to be accurate within .1 seconds, but who knows.
The other mods I have are a PI T/C (same one sold by SRT, RMM and Level 10) and the SRT intake.
