Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
Tony, I don't think that a shift kit and a valve body change are looked at as being equivalent. You could ask Mike Baker at IHRA, but I'd be surprised if it was ok to do that. I'm running an AODE as well, and theoretically an auto-shift would be the way to go....if you could get the trans to shift like you want with the computer...........

Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
I can definitely tune the trans to shift at whatever shift points I want with stock ecm. As far as the other extreme, it would just be the stock valve body with modifications to make it manual. Not much different than a shift kit. Thanks for the answer though.

Re: IHRA Pure Stock Trans question (Rules)
Lol. I want to be legal There is no performance advantage, because as I already said, I can tune the trans to shift at any rpm and with whatever firmness I want through the tune. I can even set it up to shift each gear at the push of a button, it's a computer controlled trans, lol. I'm just trying to save time and money by controlling it manually. I guess the grey area comes down to what qualifies as a shift kit. I'll email Mike, just didn't want to bother him if someone already knew the answer.
