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.
