I rather like the E4OD.
I've got an Art Carr/California Performance Transmissions (the REAL Art Carr) valve body.
I'd go with a Factory Tech Valve Body if I could do it over again. Not sure if any of the supporting vendors sell it, here's their site though:

The B&M shift improvers are purely electronic, I believe. I think a revised valve body is the way to go, long-term.

Yea e40d can be changed electronically...but you will want the valve body recalibrated...Like the one these guys make

OldRed, check out becontrols.com, they have a shift kit that is VERY tunable to your liking.I think it's around $100 or so.I've got their shift kit and TCS programable CPU controlling my E4 and it's the best thing I've done to my truck.

I would get a valve body instead of an electronic shift kit.
Valve body is altering the shifting thru mechanical design, not simply raising line pressure electronically.

Your getting a B&M E40d? It should already be built with a valvebody upgrade and a shift kit....extra clutches, stronger bands, stronger pump, improved planetary gears....the works.... All I would get if thats the case is the TCS from http://www.becontrols.com/

I have the B&M valve body kit in both of my Lightnings and I'm satisfied.I have the street performance or whatever they call the harder setting in my 95L and it is really hard.I have the tow&rv setting in my 93L and it is OK.I think you'd be satisfied with the tow&rv in your truck.It feels a lot better when I towing with my 93 to have the trans shift NOW.
