Car made 296rwhp on straight motor, and 358 on the nitrous, tranny went boo boo, and started to slip, so it had more in it but didn't want to take the tranny out, still had to drive it home, which that still didn't happen, got about 20-30 miles down the road and it ate ****...damn 4L60E's

The 4L60E isn't that bad, just most builders are bad at putting it together, use a good builder and they will take a lot.

wasn't really a built tranny either, it just had the Plates replaced with the Kevlar ones, and a shift kit and beefed up valve body..

Kevlar is bad for the street unless something has changed since last I researched it. Some builders do amazingly well with stock type clutches, they just know how to set it all up.

KNOWLEDGE is needed not all the latest wizzbang parts.

Based on what, 2 weeks behind a motor that has never performed?
Get back to us in 3-4 years, December will be 4 years on my ProBuilt Automatics I had him build for a 13 second ultimate goal. Obviously my plans changed along the way.

I have seen A LOT of tranny builders come and go, everyone starts buying from them based on ultra short term feedback like above and then 6-12 months or so later it all falls apart.

I do not know if this will be the case with this vendor but you NEED to get LONG TERM feedback in order to make a good decision.

Though I can see the logic in that at the same time if everyone followed that logic there would never be any new trans companies because no one would buy and there would never be any long term feedback for the same reason Really there would never be any kind of new products.
