I actually originally had a shift kit in the stock valve body.. It still sucked as far as i was concerned.. With the shift kit it shifted like i feel like it should have shifted in STOCK trim.. The lentech trans brake valve body is the complete valve body including the shift solenoids.. on the aode... (a normal older aod without the e does not have solenoids) It was a bit pricey but was the best money to date that i have spent on the car.. IT takes away all pcm control of the line pressure but still allows the pcm to control shift point and convertor lockup.. So with the built in higher line pressure is shifts solid .. you would NOT want this valve body if you had a stock convertor as it would probably bark the tires in all gears even under light throttle because the line pressure is fixed at a high psi..
Thanks for the compliment.. I was looking to build a sleeper and i believe i have accomplished that..
I plan on sending the convertor back and have it loosened about 500 rpm and then try for 10.99 with the stock shortblock.. After that if i don't get tired and sell it and build something different i plan on getting a coast 347 , step up to 185 afr's and a systemax intake and then a custom grind Ed Curtis cam.. and shoot for low 10's
