Question Shift kit ?

1033 LFP Stage1 Accumulator Shift Kit / Value Body $189.00 (10.00 ea)
1034 Level 10 $148.00 (12.00 ea)
1035 LFP Line Mod Valve $39.00 (5.00 ea)

I am about to order my shift kit. What is better the level 10 or the LFP stage 1? Also with the Stage 1 do you have to get the line mod. If you don’t have to get it is it worth it to go ahead and do it anyway? Also are these kits hard to install (by hard I mean when you unbolt stuff a million little pieces go flying everywhere)? I know there are a lot of questions but I want to know what I am getting myself into. Thanks guys!!

LFP stage one comes w/ line mod installed, I would also look at the Factory Tech valve body @ $225.00 I took both apart for a compare and am pretty familiar with both. Factory Tech also comes w/ line mod installed, but final choice is yours. Goodluck Jon

Read the "Detailed Product Information From Gregg Evans", builder of the Factory Tech Valve Body.

FACTORY TECH valve body is the best shift kit that you can buy for a Lightning.

Hey blinkd the real question you should ask is what is the difference between the LFP which is a Art Carr I believe and the factory tech.

Another thing to think about is customer service. I returned RMA'd a defective Art Carr converter back to Art Carr about 2 months ago and still haven't received my money back from LFP. It took 6 months to get them to have UPS pick the unit up.

Hey Chikenears who do you use to ship stuff? The reason i ask is because i just moved into a new house and UPS still doesn't reconize my address. I can put in a friends addy as long as paypal doesn't freak out when i put in a different addy from my credit card. Let me know so i order this bad boy! hell yeah i am pumped lol. Ok i just read on your site it is FedeX but i am perty sure i will have the same problem.

Send me an email with your complete mailing address and I'll check to see if it's a problem. Give me the address where you receive your credit card statements.
