When you do your research you will find that the three best out there are ATS, SunCoast, and Gorends. All are about the same price for the equivalent built tranny but good luck on finding the "cheapest" place to get them because your talking about a $6K investment for a top of the line product so your not going to find much of a break anywhere. In Idaho I can put you in contact with Nathan Wright who can help take care of your needs.

I have been happy with my Jasper Monster Box. It has an 18 month parts and labor unlimited mile warranty.

I would definately recommend Brians Truck Shop, he has an unlimited horsepower rating and he doesn't care how you might abuse it on his warranties.

ATS tryed the "unlimited horsepower" rating and quickly learned that its a big mistake. Good for the customer, bad for the manufacturer. When they get a guy that's making 1200+ hp that will keep blowing them up every other race I bet their policy will change. All the more reason to bolt up a Lenco or Liberty.

BTS trannys or John Woods... The two best tranny builders as far as the 4r100 in the country...

ATS SUCKS!!! Dont touch an ATS tranny... Read the fine print... If you run anything other then there programing on it... Warranty VOID... IF you race... WARRANTY VOID... If you pull... WARANTY VOID... so just dont drive it and you might be ok...

No sir, your not speaking the truth. Since Wade is now a member here I'll let him chime in.
