Custom Vb ??
Well I received my custom valve body from Racer X, but no instructions. I e-mailed them but not answers yet.
Im not a mechanic but I think Im not a bad
DIYurselver (spel?), but I need help in this, how easy is to intall the VB?, is just bolt on?; tricks, tips, torque specs etc, etc?. any write ups?.
I also got my TW chip ( from a dealer), but first I want to do the VB installation and test the tranny with that before to put the chip, and I have a question, I told them when I ordered the chip that I was going to install the custom VB, but I have the doubt if they burned the chip or not, what happens if they did without knowing about the VB, any issues?. I hope they considered the VB, and also hope you understand what I mean.

Its a simple install.
Be shure you remove the little filter screen. (1/4 turn to remove)
Install the plate then the screen filter. It will hold the plate up while
you install the VB.
Specs. VB= 80-100 inch lbs. Pan 10-12 foot lbs.

Thanks anyway for your input. The VB from Racer X doesnt come with the spacer plate like the BTS, so I suppose I use the original, and I have read some write ups during this time and they dont mention a gasket, only for the pan.
I dont know why Bill (Racer X) hasnt answer my mails
But with what you told me and I read, it seems to be a easy job: 2-3 hs maybe.
Should I change the oil filter or reuse the old one (has about 2.5K miles). I will add new oil to refill.

Run the trans for a bit to get the new feel of it.
Then install the chip. Then see what your likes/dislikes are.

, because I CANT WAIT for the CHIP installation and feel the AWESOME power 
everybody mention every time with the chip. he he he he. (you know what I mean, LOL).UPDATE: I received the installation instruction from Racer X, he sent it last 29, but for any reason the mail went to my SPAM.
And I have to tell to RuberDuck that he was right, because Bill mention the gasket in the instructions and he said that it´s very rare for this gasket to stick & tear, so the new VB won´t requiere a new gasket unless is severly damaged.
Thanks to all of you.
