yeah, probably the most bang for the bug mod when all come down to approx. $1000 installed (regular tranny shop)

You don't want to install it in a regular transmission shop - big chance your CEL will light up. And if you instal it in some reputable shop - it's over $500 for the labor only. So, the total for this mod will be at least $1400.

hm.. from the posts I have read in the past, it seems to be that only GS430s have the CEL issue..

BTW just for reference, SRT would do it for $400

That's right, and the whole thread is about PI TC and 3.76 LSD on GS4.

SRT is not in CA, and I checked three reputable shops in Los Angeles - the cheapest one agreed to install mine for $525 (labor only)

correction, mostly, not only

most gs430 have cel problems, but some don't
on the other hand, most 400 don't have cel problems, but i have seen rare cases with cel

I thought it was an excellent price at $849.00.
You're right.

I don't know why but I was thinking it had been around $1000
