Default Need a NEW T-56 Transmission. Where to get?!?

This transmission isnt for me, Im an Auto guy but my buddy just scrapped his T-56 (Had some decent sized shavings and gears messed up) and wanted to know where to get a NEW one from. He is pushing a little bit over 400 RWHP and will get as much as 450RWHP but that will be about as far as he wants to go as for HP. TQ # Im not sure of.

So what he is looking for is:

1.) What has some of your experiences been with new T-56's from LS1 tech sponsors and other performance manufactuers?

2.) Who seems to have the best reputation with T-56's?
3.) What price range are we looking at for a Heavy Duty build Tranny?
4.) Overall who would be your choice if you were in his shoes of buying a T-56 New?

This is the information he asked me to find out? If you could help us out Id appreciate it!

I ordered parts for my old C5 from D&D and had great buying experience. They didn't do the work on my trans though.

My T56 rebuilds tranny willl be here end of the week. Joe and Amber are top notch all the way around. Prolly one of the better companies I've dealt with, and I deal with it all day every day!

I heard D&D does a good job, buddy of mine had his trans sent there. Go either T56 rebuilds or D&D. Both have a good rep.
