Since I am going to be building my transmission I was looking through suncoast's parts. They have 3 different line mod valves. The .427, .500, and .670. The .670 says for "serious HP only" so my question is can it hurt anything if I use this valve? I don't care if it shifts hard, but if it gives it too much pressure or fluid and can hurt things I won't do it.
I recently had my trans redone all suncoast parts and went with the .500 valve. It will shift Super fast and hard!! Even while driving normal with only a mildly modded motor. Cant imagine with 600+hp... can't wait :evil I love mine! If its built right go for it, it can't hurt it. I think the .670 would be a tad to harsh though. .500's shifts plenty hard, just my .02
The .670 will shift HARD. If the rest of your trans is built you will have abrupt shifts. With lots of power back tires will break loose when it goes to 3rd gear.
So going to the bigger ones I will be more likely to break hard parts like shafts and such?
Going off the receipt that I got from the previous owner it says it has a line mod valve in it, and I'm guessing it is the .427. It still seemed to shift a bit soft even with different tuners and what not, but with the rest of my trans taking a dump on me it's hard to know what it would have shifted like in good condition.
Suncoast wouldnt even sell me the .600. Ive got a Factory Tech acc. body, it has the .427 in it. Im pretty upset with it. Might try the .500 see if it fixes my problem. Havent been able to get ahold of Gregg Evans since i bought the damn thing. Go figure.
The Tugger has you install a spring in the stock line pressure modulator. I don't use it. Sonnax .427 is all we have used. I have heard that the .500 and bigger is just too darned tough on things. With the .427 we see awesome shifts and no issues, so we run with it. . . . . . . . :evil
i love my .500 it shifts quick and fast. if your scared why bother buildn your truck letalone your trans. if ya worryed about it that much go buy a 12valve and get beat by a geo!!!!! real men have v8's!!!!!!!!
Probably shouldn't pick on the 12v guys, they have their own issues LOL
The .427 "sonnax" mod valve goes in the valve body, a common upgrade with this is the three upgraded shift valve springs. If I recall, DI usually stocks these parts and bundles them as a package deal.
LOL. If you say so buddy. I think they were trying to steer people in the right direction. A real shop wouldnt sell you a part that would be wrong for your application.

Where does it go? Does it go in a line somewhere? Do you put it in the VB. I am going to be getting a TransGo tugger and will have everything apart that i can with the trans still in the truck. I will be installing just part of the tugger cuz i am not gonna pull trans at this time. Is the line mod a mod i should do while i have the VB out? Or does it go on the out side of the trans some where? I am transtarded So me want to be learnd.
I wouldn't sell people anything I don't believe in. Because there's lots of azzholes out there who will badmouth your parts knowing you tried to talk them out of them.
let me refraize that. i know what i wanted. i also know most guys are ganna go bigger so just save the time and money and be done with it. not tryn to start ####. just sayn how it normaly works. just my .02
