I have heard good about the ATS but no real world experience with it. I can say that I have a fully built suncoast and love it. I have about 140,000 mi on it and shifts just as hard and quick as it always has. I haven't babied this tranny at all and it just seems to take whatever I throw at it. Have also heard the Goerend Trans. is very good. I think you would be very happy with any of the three mentioned Good Luck

yea 5ks about right hey Jazz not to be nosie but with what you have trans wise what did you spend i will look into the suncoast i just want somthing reliable and almost bullitproof and something that can handle 600 horse or 500 i will prolly never get that high but if it handle that much i know it will handle 400 or so. But yea if ya dont mind let me see some prices that you guys paid for bec moneys a big thing i would like to keep it under 5k
