Thumbs up Performa Level 2 or 3 for me ????

Guys, I am going to place a tranny of them in layaway as soon as I get some opinions from all of you.

My car:

2002 Camaro SS, I daily drive the car, It will be a street car with a target of about 450rwhp, and I would like to also drive the car to places out of town, like 500 mile trips.

Now, Im torn between a Level 2 and a Level 3. I dont know if a Level 3 would be too hard for me on the streets daily driving the car. I guess im worried about the comfort level or feel or the tranny.

On the other hand, I dont want to regret not getting a Level 3 down the road.

And last, Does anyone know the life expectancy of these trannys ?

The life exspectancy is directly related to how you drive, We have had good success with both levels as daily drivers. As far as feel theres very little diference really at 450 HP though I would think the level 2 would do just fine

I learned a long time ago to go one up on what I think I should have and I've never been disappointed. Worrying about the driveline holding the power is a nuisance. Go with as much as you can afford when it comes to trannies and diffs... That's my opinion.
