The Project Carbon® Valve Body:
Welcome to the Project Carbon® 8L90-E Valve Body by Next Gen Drivetrain™. The largest drivetrain problem in the 8L90-E community is undeniably the valve bodies. The valve body of the 8L90-E Transmission used in modern cars ranging from Escalades to Corvettes robs the car of both longevity and acceleration with lackluster and difficult to predict shifts. Due to these slow shifts, the car loses considerable acceleration potential during these critical changes of gear.
Further, these valve bodies are known to have extremely poor lifespans, often dying under warranty or immediately outside of warranty. When a valve body dies, it generally takes the transmission and torque converter with it, and is the cause of the well known “TCC Shudder” condition. This inferiority is caused by the General Motors “cost-cutting” design, and choice to use cheaper magnesium or aluminum components in lieu of steel or anodized aluminum alternatives that would simply cost more; out of step with the OEM's design culture.
In response, we brought our coveted Project Carbon® valve bodies to accommodate the 8L90-E community. This valve body features a host of modifications designed to prevent internal pressure leaks and inefficiencies that generate heat, slow down shift-time and decrease transmission lifespan. This combination of factors ensures that this valve body will make a noticeable improvement for anyone from a daily driver seeking enhanced reliability, to an all-out track application and everything in between.
