build it or buy it?
 
Gotta start building up the weakest link and the most expensive link unfortunately. I'm runnin an automatic 47RE tranny. Should I build it up or get an already built one eventually? What do yall rekin is the cheapest route. If building my stock one up would be the way to go what all should I get?

Nv4500 with a good clutch aint bad just be careful of the weak 3rd gear but it can take a beating
