Default RPM or FLT??

ok got a 2006 crew cab, cam only full bolt on and put down basically 350 to the tires..im running 305/35-22 tires and a 3500 stall..

drove the truck saturday and something came apart. my tuner thinks its the converter but not 100% sure at this time as the stock tranny had 60k miles and converter only had about 300 miles on it.. will be pull and sent back to the builder as soon as possible question is what do i go back with...someone told me jasper has a deal on stock trannys with a 30k mile warranty, but idk if i wanna deal with the hassle if this happens again..i was looking at RPM transmissions level 5 or finish line transmissions level 4. let me know y'all opinion, i don't have a lot of money but have enough to do this right and i don't wanna do it again u know.. thanks

I was pleased with the RPM L5 I ran before going to the 80.

Thanks big kid. I am having issues can u please read my other thread and tell me what u think.

Funny part of this thread is I have called everyone of these guys. Even emailed them and the only one to reply and call back has been RPM. And there two weeks out on orders at the moment. FML
