Default FLT or Tick ?

Looking at getting a T-56 transmission for my '02 LS1 Z28 in the not-so-distant future. I've been doing a ton of research and have narrowed it down to Finish Line Transmissions or Tick Performance.

My question is this, who should I go with based on the following: Quality, Strength, Customer Service, Price, and Warranty?

I do not have a core so I would be purchasing an entire unit if one is available.

Thanks in advance

-Rob

It would depend on what your plans with car are. If you want a stock transmission, I'd be checking the classifieds and ebay. But if you're looking for a a beefed up job, I have heard nothing but good things about tick. I love their Master Cylinder too!

I have a FLT Extreme Duty, It has handled all the abuse i've thrown at it so far. Andy and the guys are great and they will take care of anything you need.

A couple of my buddies went with tick and couldn't be happier. Based on the customer reviews, I doubt you'll regret dealing with either company though. They are both extremely reputable.
