2nd try? On the cheap friendly comp?

It's easier to swap a valve body than to install a shift kit... just my personal observation. T/A Valve bodies can be had for $100-125 on the used front. Pretty darn cheap and that's almost on par with a TF2 or 3 kit plus install time if you ask me..

Don't you have to remove the valve body to install a shift kit? Hmmmmm

Am I limited on spending money on "THE" most important driveline part of this exercise?

My suggestion, STOP DENEGRATING PEOPLE because they ask a question or suggest an alternative. Whip that horse and it won't walk anymore!

Have fun with this I'm out.

I think the asking was ok, the arguing about it gets old, on all sides. Hundreds of performance parts for each car. No way to cover each item, let alone argue the pro's and con's. Not a professional, prize winning race here. It has been no porting, factory heads, No big money top stuff carbs, they just really want simple, cheap, common upgrades. How many typical daily drivers do you see out there with Manual valve bodies?? A few pro street cars, right? I think they made it clear this is not a pro street contest. Remember, one option in the poll was "I don't get it, I'm out".
