Possible options for AT tranny

Hello all!

I would like to know what mods are available to members with an automatic 86. And reviews on products/services

As far as I know:
-SSP has Valvebody upgrades, higher stall for the torque converter, and transmission cooling for the AT.
-EcuTek has something in their tunes for AT.
-Final Drive is a possibility though not directly related

The valvebody upgrade sounds lovely, but I haven't seen a single post on this forum about someone actually running with it.
Can anyone review and maybe even provide a video on some products/services?

Are there any other options are there for making the AT better for daily/racing?
Any DIY things to make it a little better, etc?

Please no remarks on our choice of transmission!, people have their reasons
Thank you!

SSP offers stage 1 & 2 valve body upgrades for the AT, plus a nice tranny cooler. I was told by @Jason@DSG that it would hold a fair amount of torque (between 400-450 wtq?)

The valvebody doesn't increase torque holding capability per se, that would be the new clutches SSP are releasing. Stage I is due out at the end of the month and stage II is still in R&D

Damn those shifts were quick! The extra 500-700 rpm for a "launch" helped more than I would think but still not quite there. Very nice though, thank you for this!
