Valve Bodies

Hiya Everyone, I was hanging out today with a few people and I couple a few different answers, but was basically told that a Valve Body would be a little bit better then a Line Mod.

With that being said, Is there going to be really that much of a difference from say valve bodies from JLP, Chikenears or LFP?


From the guys who I hung out with today, I forgot to ask you what is actually the difference between those vb's?

Thanks!

Go with the original, the one and only FTVB! You can't go wrong with Gregg Evans and Chickenears. If you have a problem, any problem whatsoever, I'll take care of it so fast it'll make your head spin. Try to get that kind of service out of one of the copy cats.

Thanks,

Tim @ Chickenears

i went with a line valve mod .500 sonax valve that i got from troyer performance when he did my tuning bout 2yrs ago. i love the way it shifts from first to 2nd, will bark it very hard when wot but at lower throttle it doesnt shift too hard. mine is tuned with it though, he adjusted my trans shifting for the mod. i didnt really notice the difference with line valve mod with stock program still in truck but when i put a custom tune in it , truck really shifts great

FTVB is awsome! I used to say the same for Greg.But forget about getting him to help out w/ a problem.Unless you are a selective owner he decides to help.
Greg has not answered one email or post on any of the forums, that I have tried to contact him on.For the last six months!!
But as far as a killer product,You can and will not beat FTVB.
