valve body and torq converter are deff. worth it if you want a high torq/hp car with a automatic. specially in this car that has a semi weak tranny and you want the most hp/torq you can get.

You'll hate my reply, but pay off the bills...Responsibility sells? Lol...a valve body replacement could be nice, but I've found that it's better to replace such components on an as needed basis, as opposed to an as wanted basis (from an economical standpoint).

I have to agree with engineer,but with that being said,the upgrade was well worth the money.Drives like a different car now.I did all the work myself,not sure how much a shop would charge.I hate to say this,as I'm guilty of it,do not spend too much money on the Vibe,your gains will be disappointing for the amount of money you spend,trust me.

oh yeah...i meant to say its worth the upgrade, but for sure pay bills off first. You dont want collectors getting on you or ruining your credit :/

pay off bills first. THEN if you have money left over, send VB and TC to IPT. they do awesome work and I can attest to their professionalism and work personally.
