I used to have a 200-4R in my car that he built. Top notch work, great customer service, and one of the best 200-4R builders around. They're a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Mike has built my A4 twice. Went from a Stage 1 to a Stage 3 and love them. Great job!

My dam transmission is having some issues, mainly on the 2-3 shift.

And yes, I just had it gone through.

Just one more thing too tackle....

I have a 408 with 200 shot. Mine has been good so far. Now I don`t spray threw shifts and I think that makes a big differance. I don`t know what he does to keep going threw trannies! Also I don`t spray alot either. Just at the races
