UPDATE!!!!
Ok so I got everything in! Install went pretty smooth. Fluid in with this awesome pump I found that works great. And......and.........
dead battery:motz::laugh:
currently waiting for my Dad to get here and give me a jump:smile:
EDIT #2
Got the battery running and went for a drive. Shifts hard and fast. Just like they said it would. I'll probably do a more in depth review later this week. I want to get some miles on it.

Alright I have put about 150 miles on it this week, so here is a little mini review
The trucks drives very different now. It's like going from normal to race mode...only now Im permanently in race mode.
The shifts happen at the same times they used to only you feel it hit much harder and it takes less than half the time it used to.
There is no noise during the shift. It's still a quiet shift, but you most def feel it...its like hitting a bump in the road. The 1-2 shift, no matter if you drive slow or fast is the hardest. Even crawling along slowly it bumps real hard into 2nd. The 2-3, 3-4 shifts are slitghly less thud-ish. And the 4-5 is real smooth. After about 100 miles it seems much better than when you first try it out....I think the new fluid just needed to circulate a little.
It took me awhile to get used to driving around town, but I am getting used to it.
Now when you get on it, the truck is awesome. It's definitely faster. Not just the shifts but it seems to accel faster....Im wondering now if it was slipping a little before. Im positive I will have a faster time and mph next race I go to. And yes it rips wheel like crazy in 2wd. From a roll it gets into gear and accels so much faster than before
And oddly enough, I seem to be getting better gas mileage, 2-3 mpg more. Which is surprising considering Ive been driving it kinda hard this week while enjoying it. I'll have to confirm that one after a few more tanks of gas.
pulling the vb out took about 2-3 hrs and Install time is about 2-3 hrs. I was sick with tonsillitis though, so I kept having to leave and get some cough drops:laugh: Now that Ive done it I could easily have done it faster.
I used this pump for the fluid...it screwed right onto the 1 gallon jug of amsoil and I pumped 8 qts into the trans in just a few min. :top: It has this thing on it that holds the hose in place on the trans so I didnt spill at all. I used a 3/8 rubber hose to lengthen it so it would get the bottom of the gallon of amsoil. I wish we had this 2 weeks ago at our tucson meet...a few guys did the amsoil diff fluid and we didnt have a pump.

Oh and IPT sent me a new pan gasket...so dont bother ordering a new one:top: They also did the VB the day they received it and sent it out the same day:top:
So far Im happy with this mod. It's a little extreme for a daily driver, but so is a supercharger and a full race exhaust:laugh:

Here is a video from someone at the nst dyno day a few months back. i remember the discussion about the jolt in the truck while getting up to speed, he also has the VB mod. i think it was gtmoy, maybe someone else.
