Not to mention it's usually getting something added or changed so its probably not always running either...

I had mine built at a local shop here called Phoenix Transmission and they guarenteed it for 2 years unlimited mileage for 1k hp. At the most I was running around 600 rwhp but it was in my VHO that weighed in at 5500 lbs and I beat the **** out of it on a regular basis. I have 80k miles on it and not one issue.

Jakes and Rossler also have nice stuff and you can find plenty of satisfied customers that run their trannys.

Chris @ Phoenix is a good guy. I ran one of his converters and C4 trannies back in the day with my mustang. That thing never missed a bear and i beat the crap out of it for 6 years. I killed 3 motors, 2 rearends and the trans never even blinked...
