This valve body makes the truck even more fun to drive now! So, you think i should see improvements in my ets with the FTVB? Anyone have before and after times with just the FTVB? Thanks!

 

Just firmer shifts. No real E.T. improvement.

More to help the life of the tranny(less slippage) then anything.

Besides the 1-2 shift barks

theoretically since it does quicken your shifts there should be a very minimal gain. However when the tires spin between shifts that tends to cancle out any gain from the fast shifts

 

The "theoretical" gain is about 2-3 tenths, how much of it you get out of the wheels is a matter of tires, all things being equal (which they ain't) you would get the 2 maybe 3 tenths, but I think most people get 1, I got 2, but that much difference on runs on different nights is within the margin of error for me. Like Vinnie said, it's not really for a better slip, it's good for the tranny and, well, it feels better.

I just can't say enough about FACTORY TECH VALVE BODY take off or launch times shift points are much improved and quicker plus i have a much stouter transmission held 8 quarts ford mercon fluid NOT MERCON V=5 with 4x4 pan thanks gregg/

 

Times dont go down, but im sure the fun factor goes up several times over...any comments on how the ftvb reacts to rain or wet streets? What about a shift mid turn...is it really bad? Does this just kill the road course racability of my truck?
