What company should I get my tranny from?
 

Who should I be getting my tranny from? Suncoast, ATS, or PPE? So far my understanding was that sun coast has the premium product for a premium price, ATS is overpriced and PPE is best value for a great transmission with money left over to upgrade to a suncoast converter. As for my power plans, I was gonna go like this: stock trans safe efi live, lift pump (airdog 2), trans upgrade, stock turbo safe efi live, turbo, then stock motor safe efi live tuning. I would be doing all supporting mods throughout but thats for another thread, another time. This should put me in the 600-650hp range but I hate doing stuff twice so I was planning on getting the full blown 1000hp tranny the first time round. Any input is appreciated. Fire away.

600 is a lot of f***ing HP!!!! I would definitely do a stage 5 suncoast build... From what I have heard steer clear of ATS :td:

Have someone build you a transmission with Suncoast Parts.

600hp is going to be pretty difficult without rods, pistons, head studs, and cp3 upgrades

Sorry, I forgot about those damn cp3's. Still a 12v guy I guess haha. Thanks for the advice guys I was leaning towards suncoast myself. A local guy here swears by his PPE trans. Any thoughts between Suncoast and PPE with a suncoast converter?

Forgot bout Big Dipper, don't know bout those prices tho.

X2 on lukes comment. Don't waste your money on a mail order trans. Have I built local, its the only smart way. If your local to mike at Inglewood transmission he's still the most educated on this transmission.

mike at Inglewood transmission +1

long drive for someone in Canada though. i would go with a suncoast transmission. i think the G-Max replaced the stage 5. having a transmission shipped straight from suncoast may be the way to go if you cant find a local guy. i believe when getting it straight from suncoast you get an extended warranty with it. shipping can be a pain with a transmission though.

Thanks for the input guys! Im definitely leaning towards sun coast but I'll talk to my local diesel performance shop first I think. Maybe he can rebuild my stocker so I dont have to deal with core charges and all that stuff. Not to mention the huge shipping fees :argh:

Don't kid yourself, they will use the same kit you want and pass the cost of shipping on to you

I have heard good things about PPE kits as well, and for a converter you may want to look into precision industries, Precision Industries and ask for the Mike L converter

For a good price on the kits you can check out www.atptrucks.com, the sell the PPE kits
