Question Who tows with a trans shift kit.

Looking for opinions and personel results from anyone who has installed a shift kit in there truck. So far all the posts that I have read have focused on street performance not towing.

How long have you been running with the valve body?

I run a custom built trans specifically for towing.
It included a custom valve body, hi capacity pump, clutches, bands, bearings and a Diesel converter and more.
The stock trans didn't last, so I would not have it rebuilt as stock for the same thing all over again.
In addition there is a deep alum pan and a fan cooled aux cooler.
