4l60e builder Who would you have build one? And before the bashing starts... I do NOT want to 4l80 swap or anything. I am sticking with the 4l60e as my Circle D triple disk converter that was bought new is for that. On that note I need/want one that will minimally support 600rwhp however boost will be turned up so for long term goal/needs I prefer one built to support 800ish give or take.
I know of:
Monster
FLT (Finish Line Transmissions)
Performabuilt
RPM Transmissions
WARRANTY is a must as obviously they are not cheap (which is why Monster is most likely out). Car currently has 560ish rwhp / 500ish rwtq on street tires as it does not go down strip currently. Eventually it will be when fab9 shows up and is installed.

Absolutely Not Monster.
Performabuilt and RPM will both treat you well. Both have very capable 4l60e builds.
Call and talk with both and find what is best for you.
Also, use the search function. On the very first page of this forum, there are testimonials and reviews that you can read. Seriously, people need to start using the search function

I personally have an FLT trans and couldn't be happier and would use them again. However, at your goal of ~800hp don't expect a 60e to last long. Not bashing here, just fact. So if you're ok with that, call around and see what the builders have to say and base your decision off them since they're the ones who would know best.

RPM, Performabuilt and FLT are all great choices. I'm sure you'd be happy with any of those three.
I've personally owned the FLT unit and couldn't have been happier with it, they are also local to me so that would be my first choice but the other two shops are great choices as well. I know another local member from this site with an FLT unit (Level 7 I think?) that's been at your proposed future power level for quite some time, and the trans has been great from what he reports.

I had extreme automatics build mine --- best trans i ever had so far, no problems, shifts are perfect and he has a very good reputation for building quality stuff. Added a circle d 3600 nitrous converter, thing is awesome.
