The regulator valve is what controls the pressure.

This is because the forward pattern uses the shift valves to command the shifts by short circuiting the governor passage. The reverse pattern shifts directly from the manual valve, eliminating the shift valves, giving a better quality gear shift. Shifting through the 1-2, 2-3 shift valves can limit the line pressure because they influence shift timing.

Now i can see this happening more with a shift kit but not with a manual valve body. evrything you read in the transmission books says that its a personal prference to using a forward or reverse vb. and the only difference u have in line pressure with manual valve bodies is if it has a brake in it or not. the brake has more pressure.
