727 -> 904

I have a 904 with the low set of gears and a manual valve body and its holding up. My trans guy said a manual valve body is the way to go with a 904 cause with the kickdown likage the trans is only going to be at max holding power at wide open. But a good small bock still puts out great power 1/2-3/4 throttle. With the manual valve body its holding power is the same no matter how much throttle you give it. Now he did have to tame it down a little so it does not slam shift aroung town, but it does chrip the tires on the shifts. He also told me is a good idea to back the throttle off half way then shift and then floor it again. I think he could had made it shift a little harder but hey I have no problems with the cops so thats is good news to me. Think I would have if I would have set up the shifts.
