Is anybody running a th400 with a full manual reverse valve body and compression breaking on the street? I am thinking about doing a valve body in my K5 but want to know if there will be any problems running it on the street before I do it. If you are running it can you give me some feedback on what you think? I posted this in the Chevy forum and got some vague answers so I figured I would post it here.

I ran a buggy, trying to bang through the gears fast, got carried away, pushed the shifter fwd (instead of pull back) at the end of 2nd gear red line.......



what do you think happened next?

:flipoff2:

I guess you made a very expensive mistake.

I just got one put in my Jeep. I would recommend using a non compression braking VB. The 2nd to 1st downshift is really harsh! I had a non compression braking VB in it before and it would be fine for the street IMO.
By the way, I have my old VB for sale if you want. I think I paid 2-something for it but I'll let it go for 100 shipped.

PM me some details and I will think about it. I am really leaning toward the compression braking though just for the steep downhills around here.
