Default Hey Gabor... Do you have the capability to modify VB's for performance use?

I may have asked you this before, but my memory sucks :P Sending my VB out for an upgrade (to hold more power) is around $600. It would make sense for me to have you do it, since I'm still thinking about having you change my fluid. TIA.

Default The clutch A housing is the weakest link, not the VB. We can firm up the shifts, but

it will not make the tranny stronger.

Default Alright.. I was just going by the fact that plenty of Stg 3 Tip B5's hold the

power with a VB upgrade. What would you suggest I do to hold back 450 (or more) horses? I don't have several thousand dollars for a new Stasis tranny, so that's not even an option.
