I don't know how the tranny works yet, cause I'm not done bolting it in. But the customer service I have recieved from dave at Rock-On has been nothing short of phenomenal. Call him up and you'll see why.

In bed with Rock-On? You gotta be kidding. We have spent our money like anyone else and bolted in a Rock-On tranny. It has performed flawlessly behind lots of horsepower and has taken lots of abuse on the street and on 28-11.50-15 ET drag slicks at the track and it works! And it keeps on working! As for how long it takes to build a 4L80E.....not long. What you don't understand is that Dave is working on a COMPLETE KIT, not just the tranny. Right now if you want to run a 4L80E in an F-body you have to buy pieces from half a dozen different places and do some fabrication to boot. Dave is working on a kit that will include everything in one package to change over to a 4L80E. He is trying to have everything ready by next spring. If all you want is the 4L80E, just give him a call and he'll get you fixed right up.

Your car is almost stock and you're worrying about trannys.....at your hp level anybodys will work but if you add some horsepower and need a unit that will stand up over a long period of time then give Dave a call at Rock-On. He cares enough about us to be a sponsor here. That alone should tell you something.
