i ended up with a smaller B&M, i think it was 24000GVW, no fans.

i know its small, but i put it in with the intention of upgrading later if i found a deal on one. Its worked fine so far, since spring, but no track runs yet

I saw the B&M in a parts catalog and thought about getting it. Then saw one a little more pricy and thought i should buck up the money and be safer but a lot of peope i see are using the B&M and like it. If you recommend it and have had good luck with keeping your tranny alive then i think ill go that route. No one has realy told me a better brand.
