I have seen numbers posted in National Dragster and other publications that Joe from Tranzact had ran all through the 4's in the eighth. If you want to consider 4.40 and slower all through the 4's.
I don't think these publications would lie Josh.
Joe may have told you he ran 3's or was capable. Maybe but I would not repeat it until I saw or heard it from something reputable.
Joe makes a great valve body. I was very happy with the one I had. But, as far as special builders and such go. That is pure BS. My tranny had a tranzact vb, an oled worn out Turbo Action alluminum drum, A&A deisel truck planetary and aftermarket output.
People buy aftermarket input shafts only to break the drive plate. They cause themselves more greif buying stuff they don't need IMO. Stock rabestus clutches work fine also.

Absolutely JOHN COPE... I had a problem with the convertor and he stood behind his product.. I explained to him that it wasn't anything HE DID,,, but the convertor builder NOT reading the .070 midplate BUILD SHEET that I SPECIFIED for the build,,,,, He WENT OUT OF HIS WAY to MAKE SURE I was a happy camper.. That's what I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!! Usually,, you get the "no warranty" because it's race stuff,, but JOHN COPE stood BEHIND his product 100% even though it wasn't his product that was the issue !!!! GREAT GUY JOHN COPE !!!
