Are you sending a core or buying one straight up? Why do you want a manual valvebody for only 350-400 hp? What gear's are you running, how do you drive it? How far, how long, how often, what use?

I personally charge 400 for labor (for a normal trans, manual VB is more), you buy part's, pay shipping, and supply/buy the core, your total would be in the 1800 range. TCI starts at around 1400, everyone else is higher yet.

main reason for the manual valve body is because currently my car bounces the rev limiter on my 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. I have 4.10's. well for now its a dd for about another 2 months. then it will just be a toy. ill check out jegs. I though about doing the stall and valve body myself on my current tranny cuz those arent that hard to take out

Well, it's bouncing the limiter because it isn't shifting quickly enough. A shift kit or Jmod will solve that, or a manual vb if you just really want one. With 4.10's consider modding the case to force fluid to the output shaft bushing, especially if the car sees high speeds.

The Bauman is a good kit. My favorite is the TCI Transpak, they have updated it several times as year's have gone by, unlike the Bauman or Transgo, although the Bauman is still a good kit.

With those miles, your trans should be good for year's to come, add a Derale, or any other stacked plate type cooler in with the shift kit, and you are good to your goal of 350 to 400 easily, even though I'd like to sell you a trans, lol. A stall in the 3000-3200 range is what I would recomend. A little more than what you need, but enough to support a mild cam in the future, or, if you know you are going to a cam more aggressive and doing aftermarket heads, bump that to the 3600-3800 range

The stall speed on the torque converter would be based on the camshaft he has in his engine along with the rear gear. The cam information has not yet been provided.

As JR said, you are hitting the rev limiter because your tranny is not shifting when it is supposed to, whether that is a problem internally or electronically.

Well im planning on just buying a New tranny from TCI or another company with a stall?

The part is a torque converter. Stall is a specification. It's like saying you are looking at getting a lift, when you are talking about getting a cam.

Ill look into the TCI transpak. How much can you sell me a AODE for with the shift kit and 3000 torque converter. I said stall in the above post cuz most people realize what im talk about. 4.10's and stock cam for now. Like i said nothing big probibly a tfs1 cam

You really don't need a new trans man. And I don't do converter's, a 3k stall would be a good choice with the TFS1 cam, but that cam without a power adder isn't going to get you to your goal.
