Default need help 4l60e race trans build

hi everybody, I've got a 2000 x-cab with a 4l60e and i need someone with experience building high-performance/racing transmissions. I should have everything needed to do this build... I live in Oklahoma city but would be willing to go a little farther for the right deal. If interested i can send pics and post full parts list. THANKS! By the way this place is amazing! loads of info. Quick update: found one guy said he do it for 500.00 trans is out...just labor to install my parts high/low? Any thoughts?

are you looking for someone or a shop in the area to do the build? Or need help with what parts to buy? If you wanted, you could look into a performabuilt transmission and have a strong 60e

I have a patc level 4 kit with late raptor drive kit,torque master kit,5 pinion planents,special 3-4 drum & 8 clutch kit with full thickness steels, billet servos,etc. I also just got my yank sst3200 ls1 converter and hayden 30,000 gvw cooler. I need someone i can trust to put this thing together. Price is a consideration but not a roadblock. By the way i'm trying to build this truck to run in daily driver class hot rods drag week 2011 & will be putting in stroker at tax time.
