SSP AT Valve Body Upgrade

Who has done the Valve Body Upgrade on their AT from SSP Performance?
Any reviews?
Noticeable difference?
Did you go with Stage 1 or 2 and why?
How harsh is it driving on the street?

I'm leaning towards the stage 1 upgrade as I don't think I will ever really hit 5th gear on the track.

Anyone?

Ordered - let me know if anyone is interested in anything with this product. I'll post my brief thoughts on service, product, install, and performance after installed.

Valve body arrives tomorrow and I have the installation at Infamous scheduled for the 16th. I don't have a lift and frankly don't want an ATF shower when doing the install. I'll try to take pictures of the install to post.
