80rs ,there is not much to be confused about.There are 4 parts that break in this trans.from a 12 second car to a 9 second car.The more power you make the more of a chance of breaking them,.Most of us here have the calibration end of the trans working our own way that doesnt result in a trans that slips as soon as it is thrown a beaten or is bolted to a powerful engine.I dont concern myself with who goes how fast and hasnt broken the parts because they break.If the car is going in the 11s the drum is the first thing to go usually before the other 3 items.For this reason we build the stage 1 standard with a billet drum.If a trans cost more than the other and doesnt include a billet drum,obviously the wiser choice is the with the drum.If a trans is run in a car befroe it is shipped to guarantee it works and another is not you are always taking a chance on the 1 that hasnt been run when you install it .If I offer a full billet unit for 1999 shipped and it has all of the parts that are in danger of failing because of poor material quality from the factory than it certainly is a good deal.At least you can be sure a broken part wont leave you stuck on the side of the road or the starting line.Iam not here to force anyone to buy from me .If you are confused ask questions regarding these things and others.Also there is warrantee.This can be viewed on my sight.If anyone thinks they can get away without honoring a warrantee on a forum where things are out in public view they are nuts.

2000 is an insane deal. I am not sure of another builder mentioned here that would build one ALL billet for this price
Now I have to drop my price,thanks Chris!

[80rs]

Chris, that is what i like to hear. however, i want a trans that lives behind a 400hp 450tq 383 but does not shift so hard that it breaks u joints or causes dome lights and rear-view mirrors to fall off. I guess i am kinda gun-shy because that is how my last trans was

You can have freakin billet crank and if you dont set the bearings up right ..aint gonna last..no different on the trans

Having billet is needed in a few areas IMO as mentioned before in this thread but more to it than that and getting the directs and other frictions to last is key for longevity. ...repeat longevity.

Some peoples mouth writes checks thier Azz cant cash.

This is true mine lasted 94 k miles in the low 12s with just a Art Carr VB kit before the 2-3 started to slide.
When I pulled it down the band, low/reverse and 4th gear frictions looked surprisingly good. Directs and one of the sprags were about to die though.

 

[mybuick]

built my own with ck parts
