Iwant to over build it, since I have a few upgrades in the works, so I would nlike it to handle at least 800hp. I had an insedent at Quarter aces for the Chryslers at Carlisle nationals and ended up with a broken trans, bent driveshaft, dented mufflers(who needs them anyway, and bolts sheared off the rearend pinion yoke. So, I am starting the repairs by trying to get a really good and strong trans, any suggestions, or help you guys can give me would be great. Thanks.

John Cope has come thru for me when I have had issues and called him directly.... always picked up the phone and has "walked" me thru trouble shooting whatever was going on. Plus, I have bought several items thru him in the recent past and never had any concerns at all. Hands down, an excellent guy to deal with and someone to rely on. Dave

I built my trans pretty much like the Pro Trans II Reverse manual shift, with additional options like the Thick lug pump, ultra sprag, and billet front servo. By the time I paid for all the additional parts and shipping, it cost almost the same.

ProTrans, reputation speaks for itself, their transmissions are in about every serious Stock and super stocker in the country. Tranzact is what I have in my car, no complaints. Joe has been helpful whenever I called with questions. Or build your own, you wont save much if any money, but you will have a much better handle on how it all works. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA
