time to get a real trans. suggestions?

well, ive been out of f-body modding for a year+ or so now. i had to sell a couple things off my car, but i still have the cam in there. still went 12.7@112? with the cam, stock converter, and 2.73s. i think thats pretty damn good considering where my power is and when i get to it. ive decided to sell the bike and put the money towards a trans. ive always had some type of stock 4l60 and a converter in it- vig3200 first and pt4400 second (times in sig are with the 3200). however, i would like to get a built trans now and "be done with it" and get a nice converter so i can actually use my power again. so what are some decent trans out there for sub 500 rwhp cars? i dont plan on adding any power mods for a while so i dont see my level exceding where i was at before. i would like to keep the 2.73s for a while too. i went 12 bolt, spent tons of cash, and want to see how far i can get with this stock rear

. im thinkin somewhere around a 4K converter with the crappy gear. so what are your suggestions for trans/converter? i obviously dont have buckets of cash to pay for a trans either.

i also have a 4L65 stage 4 from century in houston, they build them really well. rated up to 700 hp, very strong trannys. take a look at the rossler transmissions. i think they are in chicago. one of the best in the business. good luck.

oh, get ready to spend some money!
