It seems like all anyone ever talks about for modified valve bodies is level 10 and IPT. I live in Denver Colorado and I'm wondering if anybody knows about any other companies that are a little bit closer to me so I don't have to go 10+ days without my truck waiting for them to finish up my valve body. Like some sort of shop that can do it same day.

Welcome to Xru. We spoke over on Tw. But I forgot level ten has a diy option as well. This is what Inlazy did for his valvebody which can be found here.

I wasn't to satisfied with IPT customer service. Had that New York attitude... Instead of being helpful or courteous.
Will this be the same quality as if I sent it out to get done?

Yea it seems like it. May have to confirm it with Inlazy. If I found out about it before I did a core swap I would have gone this route since it would have been cheaper. Plus u kind of have a guide now that Inlazy has done the work and has a diagram as to where to drill in the thread I referred to. Just be sure you put enough fluid when you refill the transmission.
Also, it states that they "carefully select your spring weights and orifice sizes" to make the perfect valve body for how each person drives. How would I be able to do something like that with the premade kit? Or do they make different kits suited for your driving type?
Do you know if IPT offers a DIY kit?
I have not seen any other company offer a DIY option for valve body upgrades. In fact, Level 10 only makes the DIY for the A750E/F 5 speed auto, does not make it for any other tranamission, I don't know why.
The kit is optimized for high performance upgrades with smooth drivability, like a TRD or URD supercharger. What they meant is if you want it tuned for drag racing, for example, they can make it shift faster, at the expense of comfort.
There is also an Australian company that makes the upgrade, but they are ridiculously expensive compared to the US companies.

Gadget, I only learned about Level 10 from your personal website (Gadget online), and at the time you had good things to say about them. I wonder why you now prefer IPT over Level 10.

Pat at Level 10 has always treated me well. That was not the case with my former partner Brian. There was some collusion with another company that resulted in Brian being really screwed over. Next time we speak on the phone I can tell you the story. I am sure you can find plenty of juicy internet stuff if you look for it.
