So, I am putting together a very high horsepower build, and the whole purpose for the car is TX2K and such like events (vehicle is gonna see dig AND roll races). So, my other build is having a tranny built by Gilbert, from Ace Racing Trans, and Gilbert and I spoke briefly this morning about building the 4l80e for this build as well. Now, Gilbert is more than qualified, as he doesn't just build trans for 1k horse vehicles, like most of us here are in that range. But Ace also builds some MONSTER trans for their cars in the X-DRL class. So I'm confident in his ability. But, I've also been suggested to look at Rossler Transmissions and then run a Pro Torque converter for this build. And the person who made the suggestion is a very respected engine builder, so I am now wondering if anyone can offer insight? First hand knowledge? I am looking for feedback about both, Rossler AND Pro Torque. And I'm looking for other suggestions as far as converters go as well.

Rossler is a good company but he's not doing anything that Gilbert or any other high end builder can't do.

As for converters, Pro Torque has the market on most of the really fast stuff, and their converters require some "different" than normal considerations during the trans build.

PTC or ProTorque in most of the really fast stuff.

Putting mine on a trailer Tuesday morning for a 300 mile trip and headed to Ace Racing. We have some builders near the Houston area but after talking with Gilbert my gut says take it to Ace... excited...

Good Luck OP on whoever you choose.

I appreciate the feedback guys, and I think I'm gonna follow my initial thoughts and go with Gilbert. And good to know that Pro Torque is for that caliber, thanks!
