That depends:

Are you going to take it out, and put it back in yourself?

Are you wanting a stock rebuild, a stronger than stock rebuild, or a fully built unit?

What are YOU wanting out of the Transmission? Are you wanting to have a unit that can be daily driven and beat on occastionally? Are you wanting one that can handle plenty of abuse at stock/bolton levels?

Way to many factors to get a straight answer. Tell us, what you have done to the car, what you are planning to do with it in the future (realistically)

I'd like to know this as well. Only for a car with 400+RWHP with a tranny that could take a beating. I'll be watching this

With that much Hp, i would definately look into perfomabuilt or Finish line transmission, never heard a bad word spoken about either one of thier products,and trust me, i've gone through this section with a fine-toothed comb since breaking my transmission. Both are tech sponsors.

The guys at performabuilt (and i'm sure FLT as well) are very helpful, even lending thier time to help me out, and offer advice when i told them upfront that i can't afford one of their units at this particular time.

Personally, i've gone with a highly reccomended builder in my hometown. We've talked about it and i've let him know what i want, and what my expectations are, and while i won't be getting a bulletproof trans, i'll get one that can withstand a little abuse untill i finish college, and hopefully get into a career. That being said, i can assure you that when i can afford it, i'll be grenading this trans and looking into one of the sponsors available transmissons.

Hope this helps!
