Haven't heard of anyone using it.

The good thing.. the FLP's and Yank's have been working on they're setups for a while now.. working out the bugs...

When you're looking to spend some money on something major, I highly recommend that you stick with what is proven and a company that you KNOW will stand behind their work. This will save you from having to do this all over again. An FLP level IV will take the place of my stock trans when the heads/cam setup is installed.

Jim, Speed Inc. has a trans equivelent if not better than the FLP IV for about $1600. Give them a call. I'm going to be getting one this spring for sure.
