Ive had my mod valve in for bout six months. I can chirp second gear anytime I give it more than a lil throttle. I asked about changing to the ftvb with my tuner and he told me I had no reason to. He had tuned the truck for the mod valve and I would have no problems with the clutches. To each their own I guess.

Anyways Leeann I know a guy who works in South River who tells me that you should never sleep on a Gen 1 because you never know what could be under the hood. 
Later Girl.

I usually roll through South River on my way home from class if I have nothing better to do.

/hijack mode on
BTW, did you see that Jersey has two or three of the most expensive
places to live in the US? That's prolly why it takes a while to get all
the moddin' done. < grin >
/hijack mode off
I've had both line mod and FTVB, and the results are about the same.
Only different claim is the FTVB is easier on the tranny. YMMV ...

I have a Line Mod Valve from (Troyer Performance) along with a 4 Lber, and Filter and from a stop I spin the F1's all the way into 3rd Gear. I only did this once, too much stress on the tranny.
I can chirp second without thinking
I can smoke second with about 1/2 throttle. My truck runs really strong

No offense to the gen 1 guys, but I'm glad I finally went broke and bought a gen 2!
J/K, it's still a fun truck. (thumbsup) (beers)
On a side note, I finally got the line mod installed on my L (Thanks JDM!!)... my truck shifts like an animal now.. and as Rob would say --WOO HOOOO

I have had my line mod valve from JDM in my 02 since 02, and i haven't had a single problem with it. When i get on it and i hit 2nd, it will chirp the tires every time. I would say people has had problems with both the LMV & FTVB, but you can't say one is worse than the other.
