I have already pulled one of my valve bodies out to see what color the solenoids are. Easy job but a bit messy.
From what I understand the "silver box" will act kinda like a Sprint Booster 'cept for the transmission. It will take the signal from the TCM and change it, telling the transmission to increase line pressure eariler thus the firmer shifts. Line pressure will not increase over stock just come on sooner.

I'm going to have my valve body reworked by Builder Bill. He is on all of the other NAG1 transmission running cars websites offering two stages of valve bodies for the NAG1. SAMPLE

Bill tells me that the SRT VB is different than the other NAG1 VB. Seems it's made of better quality materials. For that reason I'm going to send him my VB rather than opt for a swap. I'll update.
