The fact that they've written many informative technical documents on the 700R4 combined with their overall good reputation would be good news for me. I got a line pressure gauge from them..

Now there's a guy (Dana at http://www.pro-built.net ) about whom I've never heard any complaints. He's also an active member of this board which is pretty awesome and he always gives the best customer service and advice that you could ask for.. Oh, and from what I've heard, his transmissions are top-notch...

I haven't dealt with pro-built though I hear good things about them.
I have ordered speedo gears and a lock up kit from bowtie overdrives, no complaints. I'm eyeballing one of their trannies myself...
I read CHP used one of their trannies...

I have had a level 3 in my car for about 3 years now, without a problem. It shifts hard and fast. I'd definately recommend it.

When it was behind the 305 TBI I was running a 2200 stall. Now with my 355 I'm puting in an Edge, stalls about 3300.
