It's the TransGo plate, so you would drill the hole(s) a little larger just like you would if you put in your own TG kit. Here is the page of the instructions that tell you how to drill it:

But Chris is right -- I would get with Brian first to get his opinion. If you don't mind, I'd like to know what size holes are there now. When you take yours apart to drill it, would you mind posting what size all three of the holes are in yours before you drill it?

Good point Joe. I'd be curious to see what size holes Brian drills in the plates as well. We're supposed to put a TransGo in Barry's truck this weekend. We might just drill the same size holes Brian does if we get the info in time.

John Wood VB FTW!! 
No plate to drill, custom set up for shifts exactly how you want, and works with all DP-Tuner tunes without needing a reburn.
Sorry...I couldn't resist guys.

I wish someone would pony up and tell us how his works. Personally, I *LIKE* the idea that I can control how hard my tranny shifts both by the size of the holes, and with the tuning. Mine is firm when I'm easy on the throttle, but chirps the tires when I hammer it. Also, I have read that it is BETTER to have the tranny modified for more flow/higher pressures than in tuning alone. On top of that, I like that my tranny shifts sooner than it did before with the stock VB tuning. The difference is amazing. I wish I could drive a JW VB truck to see how it feels. I would love to compare.

I'm hopefully getting my BTS VB in the next couple of days. If I know what holes to check for you, I'll let you know the sizes. I'm sure they're the same ones as the plate Joe posted, but don't know about the ones in the VB itself.
i wonder if this would get a badly slipping trans to BTS, i wouldnt care about how it shifted if it would just get me down there on its own..
