Default Need some opinons on trans

Ok i'm wanting to upgrade to an 80e but can't afford it at the moment. my truck is an 05 crew cab 5.3 with just headers, tune, 3.90 gears, 3inch sinlge exhaust, and a yank tt300 stall. while on the dyno my drive shaft blew up taking out my trans. some time in the near future i will be dropping in a mild 6.0 with a little go juice. i was looking at the flt level 5 and the performabuilt level 2. i know that the 60e takes a crap when lots of power are thrown at them, and with my truck being a heavy a$$ tank doesn't make it any better. so which would you guys suggest? i also want to go with a larger stall also. crew & ext cab guys what trans are you running and stall? i'm thinking for long term also guys thanks.

If you are going to try to make a comparison between those two vendors you need to look at the PB L3 vs the FLT L5. Thats all I'm going to say.

Performabuilt without a doubt. They stand behind their work. FLT does make a good trans, but they only stand behind it for 6 months.

80e... dont waste your time on another 60e... you can do an entire 80e swap for about 1000 bucks if you use the stock converter and do the work yourself... the converter is whats really costly..
