Default t56 rebuild

I am from about an hour south of Chicago. Where is a good place to my t56 rebuilt and strengthened. I am going to be doing it within a couple of months. Thanks for any input.

Try Chuck Johnson at Finish Line Transmission -- 630-350-7776

He recently built my T56 and also did a 4L60E for me a couple years back. His work was featured in this month's GMHTP, although it was a 4L60E.

He did great work. Great guy. No problems whatsoever. He is willing to explain what he will do for you.

Give me a call. I am a board sponsor with a very long list of LS1tech.com clients. I have a special going right now as well with a great turn around time.

Thanks for all of the feedback so far, I don't know if I wanna pull it myself though, because it looks like a real big job. Does anyone have an idea of how long it would take me to remove it from a C5 by myself? I have the tools and garage to do it in.
