Currently tuned; going to install VB and TC

always-strokin · Jun 2, 2013

Will there be any issues installing my TC and VB w/ my current tuning? I know it will probably shift HARD, but thats not necessarily bad is it? I just wanna make sure that I wont tear my trans up by installing those things and not getting retuned right away.

I did the same thing and eventually got mine retuned, the shifts felt like the trans was gonna shoot out the bottom of the truck.

^but will the transmission literally fall out? Or is it not that bad for it?

Its not gonna litterally fall out..lol.. I would however ask your tuner and see what he/she thinks.

Put them in see how it shifts and adjust from there.

I'm just concerned about the tranny taking a **** w/ the VB being installed before I can get the turbo/injectors and retune installed

The valve body should raise line pressure mechanically. I'm sure your tuning raises it too. It will likely shift hard. It isn't just going to vaporize the trans. It's going to depend on the tuning and the size of the line mod valve in the accumulator body. Put it together and try it. If it shifts to hard there is no reason you cant drive it like that for a little while. I wouldn't go doing wot runs over and over with neck snapping shifts but other than that it wont just break it.
