Default Another happy Performabuilt customer!

Let me start by saying Frank and Performabuilt are awesome! I was torn a few months back when deciding on a trans. It was down to FLT or Performabuilt. I called and talked to both and both were very positive on the phone so I researched on here for a few weeks reading every review that I could find and overwhelmingly Performabuilt got a positive nod with their great customer service and awesome trannies! So I picked them, and so far couldn't be happier. Frank has answered all of my questions in an amazingly fast manner with all I'm sure he's got going on besides me and my trans. We had a few shipping issues that Performabuilt was not at fault for and Frank took care of it completely! Great job guys! I'll be installing it tomorrow and starting this thing up Monday hopefully so I'll be updating this thread with how the trans/verter drives in a few weeks, but so far it's been an awesome experience with Performabuilt! Here's a few pics of the tranny just for the hell of it.
