well the trans I replaced that with I got from revxtreme, it was a low mileage pull-out. I replaced that one a few months ago with a performabuilt level 2 from my friend's totaled car with 400 miles on it lol. Now I've got a 4L80E that I am going to build to replace this one when I start my turbo build

When I picked up my 3500 stall from FTI, they told me Transmissions Plus in Kissimmee. Quality work, spent $2500 installed on maxed out high performance rebuild. Has taken 40,000 miles / 4 years of daily use it for what it's deigned for driving, raced at OSW getting 1.7x sixty foots, lots of hotlapping, and still running strong. Sonnax 2nd, 3rd, 4th servos, 3-4 Z-pack clutches, reprogrammed, the Beast, big trans cooler, poly mounts, etc.

Also agree that FTI does a jamb-up job on things. Lots of racers using there products.

they build a great trans. No issues with mine yet, and my friend's 408/nitrous car has over 20k miles at 500rwhp NA, with a 200 shot through it. and he doesn't baby the car, he drives the hell out if it 24/7. His is a level 2, as is mine.
