Let the War Begin

BTS vs Factory Tech

I know Brian is the God of the 4R100 but has anyone had any experience with Greg Evans Factory Tech Valve Body.

Do the people using it feel it is as good as what the people using the BTS Valve body say theirs is?

If you are buying, I'll install, ok? What it would need is someone with a truck that bought a BTS VB and a FT ET and installed one and then the other.

I have no experience with either valve body. However have heard nothing but good about both. Just installed sonnax shift kit and very happy with shifts. Very suttle when driven moderate, but hold on when at WOT.

I thought about the Sonnax but you have to take the VB apart, IIRC. I decided to just change the VB. Too bad I did that since I changed the fluid to synthetic too. Well, a month or so later, the diode locked up and I was out fluid and a VB. Fortunatly Brian at BTS heard me crying all the way and decided to give me credit for the VB when I bought his trans.
