BTS VB or tugger kit
The guy who is building my trans wants to use the tugger VB instead of the BTS. What should I do? He's telling I'll really like how the tugger shifts. Sounds more like a warranty issue to me cause he doesn't know about the VB that Brian makes. I'll try out the tugger for now but can I just swap it out if I don't like how it shifts.

I thought Brian used the Tugger parts in his VB? He just goes through the valve body to make sure it's all up to spec and does the install himself so you don't have to mess with it. I don't think there's anything wrong with the tugger kit.

I'd call Brian and see what he says.
Since you've been live tuned with the BTS valve body then I'd be inclined to stay with it.

Personally, I think you're way over thinking this. Either option will be absolutely fine. The transgo kit makes the shifts crisper, not neck snapping.
If you've been live tuned, the line pressure affecting shift points may have been adjusted for what you have. You should email Jody and get his input and follow that. Whatever he did to the line pressures during live tuning will hold the answer for you. And the answer may even be it doesn't matter.

Chris just let your trans guy do your whole trans even valve body and see how it runs. That way if something do happen he can't blame the BTS vb.
Like F350 said your thinking to hard . Just do it and see what happens.
