The consensus opinion is that you can't go wrong with a BTS valve body.
There are others but most here will tell you BTS is the way to go.

Another vote for BTS. You won't regret it.

I second this, the calibration plate along with the springs for the body are what you really want. There are other parts to it that don't necessarily have to be installed.

Unless he has changed is practices, he won't send you instructions. He wants you to call him so he can explain it to you what holes you need to drill out. Those holes will be drilled out by him based on your telling him what you want. However, if you want certain shifts harder, he will tell you which holes to drill out. So, I would take a photocopy of the shifter plate when you get it. Usually, he gets it right on the money if you tell him your application.
