Transmission Upgrade

I have searched this site as well as the web for upgrading my transmission. I found the Sonnax valve and Tricumulator springs but also found the reprogramming kits from Transgo... My question is... Does the Transgo kit come with the valve and springs or do the parts in the Transgo kit take a different approach to upgrading the line pressures in the transmission... and if anyone knows where I can see the componants that are included in that Transgo kit... The Transgo kit that I am looking at is the 4r100-hd2 "Tugger Kit".. thanks for all your help in advance... I just want what's best for my tranny...

I would have to say that it depends on your financial situation if you want IMO the best trans out there call brians truck shop, it will cost you but the increase in performance and bullet proof comfort was worth it.

I've had great luck so far with the FTVB. Easy install, about 15-20mins tops, including changing out my pan. Love the way it shifts, crisp sure and solid. It is great towing as well, locks up the torque converter solidly and no mushy feeling.

Just rebuilt the tranny in my 02 F350 CC Dually. Put in a transgo kit, so far it has made a world of difference. Shifts very smooth (comparable to an allison). I haven't pulled with it yet but so far worth every penny!
