bts valve body

I was wondering what tranny mods do i need to handle a 140hp aggresive tune from dp or tony,elite? How much is a bts valve body and will just this be enough to handle the power without abuse? THANKS

yeah its an obs, i should be buying it tommorow,it laggs or slips between 2-3 shift, and would like to stop it. Also shifting gear like drive or reverse it is difficult, i thought a good valve body would help this alot

it might help but it sounds to me more like slipping 2-3 clutches...prob get it checked out at a shop before u put the tuner on and put the good power to it ....in my opinion

Get it into a transmission shop before you buy, have a real idea on the costs.
