Thanks man. I'll try to find them. Not showing up on the map or anything...

Edit: Advanced Transmissions. Got it. Have personal experience with them or anything? Any reviews from friends?

I have a few friends who have used them for gear changes and M6 and A4 work. They all would use them again. ATC is not cheap to say the least but quality work they stand behind. The owner is Harry. ATC races off shore boats and Funny Cars! They are hot rodders.

Also I have heard that Ricks Rod's on Congress does good work too, probally less exspensive too.

I've been in Ricks Rods. It's a nice place on the inside. They wanted like 300 to weld in my subframe connectors...

Wonder what ATC charges for gears. I don't mind paying a bit more for quality LOCAL work, especially if they stand behind their service.

Sad to say I won't be able to make it out to Laff Sat morn... My car isn't ready. I brought it to CSC Customs in Baton Rouge (that did the drops on a few of my trucks)...
I wanted them to install my new Viking Coilovers,set the ride height,roll the fenderwell lips in,Put on the new 305/35/18 Nitto 555R's on the rear and the 275/45/17 Nittos on the front,and do a 4-wheel alignment but the mounting bushings weren't in the box with the new coilovers so they still have my car and waiting on parts! Smh But the last time I checked it was 100% chance of rain so prolly wasn't gonna happen anyway.

My builder is good and in Denham Springs if you can't find anyone you trust locally. His name is Ed McDowell and is one of the best LS-1 builder/Tuner in the area besides Futrell.

Sweet. I'll keep that in mind. Tuning is covered, as Geoff is THE best in the country.

He did my 4.10 gear install and they are quiet and holding up strong so far in case you need a gear swap or what not. I still need to hook up with you on the pillar pods.

Ha! I got a box that's perfect for it if you'd rather I just ship it. Had to get an extra driver a pillar for the Vette Bc I didn't want to screw up mine.

Shoot me a PM if you still want it. It's literally in the box ready to go.
