i have a bd valve body and its awesome! i figure that and a single disk torque converter is all you need, or a torque converter and a shift kit would be the cheapest and most effective way to go.

VB will work wonders, but with the torque increase you will have its the Torque converter that will fail first. Trust me I know. You will get by for a while, but start saving for a new trans right away.
