Question suncoast or goerend?

hey guys i have been looking at transmissions and I've kinda narrowed it down to either a suncoast or goerend 47re automatic. I really like the price of the suncoast as its about a thousand dollars cheaper than the goerend but i haven't really heard anything on the suncoast so if anyone could give me some advice I'd really appreciate it thanks

Both of those trannys are great lots of guys run both of those. If it was me I would go with the suncoast just because I have heard more about them

Do Suncoast transmissions come with torque converters? How much power can the suncoast trans hold?

I'm pretty sure they come with a billit triple disk converter and depending on the stage of the trans I think they can hold 750+

I was looking at the suncoast site and all I see listed is one trans for the year of my truck that lists at $2695? I can't imagine that it comes with a converter and can handle much power for being so cheap?

You will need to buy the converter also.It will hold power,what do you do with your truck will determine the built of the transmission. I love my Goerend full billet.
