well i blew my transmission well today i pulled in to get something to eat and when i put it in park i felt a bit of a slam and didnt think anything of it really, got back in a little bit later and went to leave and i wasnt really moving anywhere untell about 10-15 MPH soo im like wow, what the hell is going on... so i pulled over and put it in first and it would BARELY move so long story short on the tranny i lost 1st 3rd Reverse and the rest barely work, my neutral is drive and neutral lol. i have no money for a new one and this is my ONLY car and i have to get to school and work both 5 days a week, my school is 60 miles round trip and works another 15... i have 600 and im trying to get a way to get 2500 altogether so i can get a TCI tranny and installation and everything else what a shitty thing 
.... money wouldnt be a problem except ive tried everyone i know, i dont want a loan, and i pay 300 for car 414 for insurance a month and about 90 a week for gas lol i hate this

I feel your pain man, just blew mine last week as well. Got a new one from performabuilt, great guys to talk to! Ask Frank from Performabuilt what you should do. If money's tight, perhaps a used tranny may be in order? Wish there was an easy fix man, that sucks.

We do not put hp #'s on the web page because these units fit many different applications. However for a fbody with just bolt ons I think that the level 3 will work just fine. The level 4 is more for head and cam cars with the usual bolt ons. I would say probably good to 400-500rwhp NA.
