Seems like a good idea, except it's regulated for a reason, like when you are at high load and low rpm, the pump isn't spinning enough to feed it, hence the bypass to keep the pressure constant.In addition the transgo kit makes a bunch of retarded changes to the valve body that will do nifty thing's like let you shift into, any gear at any rpm. They drill a bunch of holes into the valve body to bypass the shift solenoids and accumulators, which are there for a reason.Another thing I noticed about the transgo kit when I had one sitting here was the crappy finish on the valves, compared to the mirror-like finish on my brother's stock Ford valves.Just because it makes cool chirping sounds when you shift gear's doesn't mean all is well. Before I did my brother's, I pulled it apart, went to Summit, got the kit, and compared and contrasted. There's nothing in a 4r70w that can't be corrected with a drill, yet the transgo kit insists on turning it into a engineering masterpiece or something. I use them in 700r4's all the time, they make a great product for that trans, their 4r70w kit blows nuts though.Not to mention, the transgo kit is 125, modifying your own valve body is like 15 dollar's...</blockquote>
