Ask Dave about it when you order. No one knows more than him, and all you're going to get here are a bunch of opinions.

make sure you also research what you want out of the engine in regards to cam, converter lockup etc and relay the info to Dave @tep to get the most out of your setup and work best with your setup. I don't think anyone on this site would argue about getting a tep trans.

It's like my gears are slipping internally everything works good but 1ST gear slips and when I stop and start driving it slams i thought maybe motor mounts but then 1st went almost completely out.

My TEP will be installed next week. Mine was $2800(700 for core). That was just the 300 whp basic build though. My car is doing the exact same **** btw. Annoying as hell.
