I asked the same question not too long ago. I then remembered a little sort of well known shop called Lingenfelter. I called my buddy Tim from Lingenfelter and asked him about there trannys. He let me in on a little secret. Rossler builds all of there trannys. So that's who I dealt with. I mean if they can make the trannys in Lingenfelter's 50K+ twin turbo 427 last then they can do it for me..

If Your speaking of the 4L60E it can be built to take some heavy abuse , But as a note looking around on the net make sure that whomever you use actually tells you what they are putting in there I have torn transmissions apart that were hyped as exstreme performance that were little more than a stock rebuild with a shift kit ,And since the people selling thm said nothing more than its a heavy duty or performance transmission they technically did nothing wrong because in many cases its a matter of opinion ,
So just beware and read whatever claim they make and call them and ask questions , Reputable compaines wont mind taking some time to speak with you ,

Dart Transmission in Mokena. Since ur from around here. He does all race trans, 5 second funny cars, 6 sec Top Sportsman all the way to tow vehicles. I just walked in from picking up a glide going into a 9 sec '67 Camaro steet/strip car.

He stands up for his work. Plus he sponsors my Pro-Modified and I trust him with all my and my friends trans & rear ends. He has a 8 second SBD so he's one of us.

Call and ask for John, tell him John with the Pro-Mod Lumina (Don't want my name on here, sorry) sent u, and he will give u the truth about time and usual price. Plus he sells N2O and speed parts, I buy all my MSD, fuel, N2O, tires ect from him. Good luck, hope I helped
