Questions about a Rossler TH350. I plan on going with a TH350 with the my new setup. The goal is to take a stock bottom-end car and run at least 9.70's.
I was wondering if anybody here has any experience with Rossler. The obvious choice was a Tranz-King TH350, but I'd like to explore all of my options before I make a choice.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Big Mike runs low 9's on 346 with lots of juice and runs a Rossler TH350. I run a Rossler 4L60E, a couple of others here have Rossler TH400's as well as TH350's and 4L60E's. He builds the best trannies in my opinion.

Two names in that are can't go wrongs as far as these trannies go are Carl Rossler and Hutch Transmission Service. I know they are not sponsors here, but more big name racers out there use eitheir of those two transmission shops. Obviously each of the transmission companies that we have as sponsors here also offer built TH350's, 400's, etc. I would encourage you to call around and see what each of them have to say.
I have a Rossler in mine (TH400) and it's great. I've also driven a car with a Hutch TH400 and it was smooth as silk as well. I would strongly suggest that you include the race weight of your car when talking to any shop. TH350's, even built ones, work really well on lighter cars hovering at the lower end of 3000 pounds. Anything more then that or that is going to go through a lot of street driving and you'll definitely want to consider a TH400 instead. Again, just work with the shops and have them stand behind their recommendation.
Good luck. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the information DERTY.
On a side note, I saw you and your car at the Southern Shootout a couple months ago. Your setup is very clean and the car runs very well. Too bad it was brought to a hault by my buddy Steven in his black Z28.
Anyways, I plan for the car to weigh about 3,100 on the street, but of course I'll have to make the 3,500 lb. weigh-in at the LS1Tech events.
I'll post back here with any new updates I have.
