First- it's a valve body not body valve. I get lis dexic to sometimes

Second- you tell us do you need trans upgrades? Is it slipping or shifting poorly?
You can run with just valve body or shift kit installed into valve body. I used a DTT kit and there are many others out there.

whatever you go with make sure to let supplier know nothing else is upgraded on your transmission as pressures and timing matches with transmission components.

as you already run in the 13's valve body is probably a short term solution. My 3rd gear frictions and steels were burnt with a 100hp tune with stock transmission.
my tranny is fine and I need keep it fine with tuner

Look at the parts list. The stage 2 includes a valve body shift kit as well as other components. You're only as good as the stock converter.

There's no skimping with the trans. Do it right. Yes, you need a converter. Seems you are looking for cheaper priced options to get it to hold better....I'm here to tell you, it may buy you some time, but you need to drop some cash into it. If you're posting quarter mile times, I doubt you drive it with a light foot. A heavy foot requires a good trans...not just a few upgraded parts.

Gonna have to suck it up and throw money at it. If you can't afford it...sell the Diablo to remove the temptation.

No one likes to throw money at the trans...it's the boring upgrade...but it deserves the money, it will change the truck's feel....just like a programmer changes the feel.

Upgrade stage 2 looks like a great upgrade for the price. Even if trans needs rebuilt in the future, those parts are used again.

Are you 4 wheel drive? note boosted 4 wheel drive launches will kill a stock flexplate.
yes 4 wheel drive
the stg2 kit from DTT can handle 450whp ?
