Jeez, which plate are you referring to? Look at the link. My tranny now has a plate in it.

Edit: never mind, I think I know what you are talking about.

The HD2 and Tugger kits pretty much do the same VB mods. The Tugger does contain a few more parts for modding the L/R modulator which is beneficial when using manual control for forced downshifts on steeper grades and backing up with heavy loads. I have been considering buying this valve kit separately to upgrade this modulator. It is also offered by Sonnax as a stand alone upgrade, too. Both kits contain parts that will not be used in an "in vehicle" install. The HD2 was suggested to me by the trans parts dealer where I purchased my rebuild parts and part of their master rebuild kit, but the sales rep couldn't elaborate why their rebuilder recommended the HD2 over the Tugger kit. For daily driver/ light towing, you would be hard pressed to tell a difference in these two kits.
