not an entire VB, just a cheap little kit that goes in the VB, www.summitracing.com sells the B&M kit.

Re: wot in fourth
FYI: (not totally sure on this) It will disable the kickdown from 4th to 3rd. If your in 4th and floor it, the transmission will not kickdown by itself to 3rd. You'll have to manually put it into 3rd, then floor the gas.
You can also modify you current parts to do the same thing. Search for the directions, I've posted them before.

B7M claims 85% throttle for a kickdown, but I never measured. I do know when I stomped it at 50 mph, it'd go from OD to second.

Re: wot in fourth
OK, well then maybe the "homemade" mod is what I'm thinking of.
