do you have a website where i can check that out. im looking for something that will stand up to daily driving with a little bit of getting on it. i was racing alot but i live in memphis tn and they just passed a law that if you get caught racing your car gets seized so im not looking to dog my tranny anymore. ill still race from time to time when i run into turbo hondas on the street that think they are hot **** and they can beat anything on the street but besides from that im done with racing. please forgive the long drawn out reply ive been drinking jack and coke all night

The simple fact is the 4L60E in stock trim is a decent unit, however it will not live up to constant WOT passes. Maybe that's an extreme comment, but you get the point.

There is no question in my mind that you need a mid level, well build performance transmission if you have been through 4 stock units. Get a mildly modified torqued converter to go with it and you will fall in love with your car all over again! Not to mention the transmission will last for a very long time.

We have a good sale on our Stage 2 and Stage 3 units...and will be extending it out for the foereseable future. Take a look at our website and give me a call, I would be happy to discuss some options with you.
