Talking JLP Valve Body

Just got it in the truck and tried it out.

It will slip the Nittos in 2nd and if you are in it hard it will slip 3rd a little. It shifts like a normal trans at normal in town take off. You get in it and let it go up to about 3000 to 3500 it will hit good an hard. Get it up to 4000 or more and it will strat to slip the tires.


Thanks to JLP.

$umtoy congratulations on new install,
I installed mine about 3 weeks ago and still get a giggle every time I hit it hard. Had my best 60ft to date with it too (1.88)

Just today I was trying to blend with traffic and I thought I let out of it soon enough, but ended up scaring some ricer's girlfriend with the bark!LOL

Did you install the valve with it too??

Bryan

Eventualy as it is with death and coming face-to-face with god, you shall one day, sooner or later be in the presence of the great Gregg Evans, for a Monster Box to replace your failed transmission. You should have got the Factory Tech Valve body instead.

IF IT GOES I WILL CALL JOHNNY AT JLP BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN ON THE UP SIDE WITH ME SO FAR. IF HE CAN NOT HELP ME HE WILL POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF SOMEONE THAT CAN. IF IT COMES TO A TRANS I WILL GO BAKE TO WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YEARS. JOHN AT J&W TRANSMISSIONS I HAVE RAN 4.5'S WITH ONE OF HIS TRANSMISSIONS IN THE RAIL. HE WILL GIVE YOU 90 DAYS ON HIS TRANSMISSIONS AND A YEAR ON HIS CONVERTERS. I PUT 1200 PLUS HP TO IT AND SENT IT TO HIM IN A BOX. THAT WEEKEND WE HAD A NEW ONE IN THE CAR AT $OO COST.

GREGG IS GOOD BUT I HAVE USRD JOHNNY AS LONG AS I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK AND WILL CONTINUE.

IT IS CALLED BEING LOYAL TO YOUR TUNER.

BGLANDEN I JUST PUT THE VAVLE BODY IN WITH A CHIP THAT I GOT FROM JOHNNY A WILL BACK. JOHNNY TOLD ME TO TRY IT THIS WAY FRIST. IF I DID NOT LIKE IT TO THEN GET THE LINE MOD. SO OR JOHNNY HAS JUST SOLD ME WHAT I NEEDED NOT WHAT WHOULD MAKE HIME THE MOST MONEY.

I have an appointment with JLP this coming friday for a tune, I will ask him about line mod. I'm very happy with the valve body!, I agree about sticking with someone that is helpful. I'm sure the Factory tech valve body is a good product though. Unfortunately I bought alot of my mod's through a wholesaler, just wish I knew Johnny and Sue sooner!
Sincerely,
Bryan

If I am not mistaken, Gregg gives a 2 year warranty on his Monster box, regardless of the HP you sock to it.

It is fine to be loyal to a tuner. I'm not sure how many "tuners" are transmission experts.

Johnny Winter is good, but IMHO on Ford automatics he isn't a Gregg Evans.

Buy one of Gregg's FTVB or the Monster Box and I'll bet you become "loyal" to him as your tranny man...

BTW, how do you go 4.5 in the 1/4 with only 1200 HP in a rail ??

Just wondering...

4.5 on 1200 HP was undoubtedly in the eighth.

Am I the only one who sees something SERIOUSLY wrong with this?

anyone else?

I'm pretty confident that Johnny did NOT say that to you. If he did, you should search and find out exactly what a LINE MOD does. Make your Own decision.

How was your post helpful to the starter of the thread ?

Its not appropriate to state that Johnnys Valve Body will hurt the transmission, unless you have evidence that similar things have happened in the past. Ive not seen or heard of anything like that happpening and You didnt reference them here. In fact unless it happened to you its hearsay.

Greg doesnt even make the monster boxes anymore ... Seems strange that they still have the huge energetic following...

Hey man i run with a JLP valve body also and no problems yet. Don't quote me on this but I think that Johnny's VB's are actually made by Level 10 but again don't quote me. Anyway badass product so far with not one problem.

I had a line mod in my stock trans back in 2001 for about 23000 miles.......it worked fine......

Not saying a line mod is the right thing to do(valve body is the way to go) I was just saying it didn't destroy my trans in 5000 miles......

I will let people continue to be negative......
