Factory Tech Performance Valve Bodies?

I just aquired this setup from PSP and am about to install it tonight.
Are any of you guys running it? Are you liking it?
I am reading about JDM's line mod valve and how great it is, I just want to hear more about the Factory Tech setup.
Can I expect similar results?

YOU WILL LOVE IT. I got the filter and pan also. If you got the new pan, just punch a hole in it with an awl. It makes a much cleaner job.

I just did the install last night I also got the 4x4 pan and filter, I punched a hole in the old pan and had everything swapped and back together in about an hour and half. I really like the difference compared to stock !
Oscar,

I love the Factory_Tech valve body mod the shifts are awesome and it chirps the tires. The install is easy to no messing with springs just take out stock valve bodie and pop in new one. Also anyone that did this mod what was the point of putting the larger pan on i didnt still have the stock one on and shifts are still awesome??
Thanks
Vin

Drain plug (main reason I switched) and a little more ATF capacity with the larger pan...

This pan will also keep your TRANNY fluid cooler as well as add more capacity.

seems like alot of work and money for harder shifts that you could get for about 100 bucks from JDM.. is there any advantage at the track to having a larger pan and extra fluid capacity?? or should I say more weight??

I don't understand why the JDM valve would be easier? Does he have a magic one that installs without removing the pan? As far as less inexpensive JL and Mark sell theirs for less than JDM. A larger pan means more fluid capacity and therefore lower temps which will probably make your tranny last longer. I have a B&M pan, it doesn't weigh much more than stock. Including the extra fluid I doubt it weighs 10 lbs more. I would have went with the Mag-Hytec pan but I got the B&M before I knew about those guys.

Thanks for all of the responses guys. I decided to go with the 4x4 pan and filter. The drain plug is definitely a plus.

Wish I would have seen what you were running Spiro that looks sweet.

Love the new shifts. Can't wait to really test it.

LOL....You would think if he was interested in "stiring things up", he would have put some thought into his plan. As for his advice to his son...WHATEVER

Vin,
The person that reserved my pan backed out, e-mail me if your interested, I could save you a few bucks over a new one.
