bowtie overdrives

Hi,

I've got an 88 iroc with an L98 and 700r4. I rebuilt the motor about 10,000 miles ago and recently had the rearend rebuilt. Now the trans pump is starting to whine and the converter is starting to slip. I need a new tranny and I wanted to know if you guys have heard of this company. What attracted me was the $940 price for a level 1 700r4. Its no hard core race trans but my car is very close to stock so this would fit my needs.

I have had a level 3 for 4 years and haven't had a problem with it. I'd definitely recommend these guys.

What level transmission did you get. I was thinking about a level 2 transmission because I have about 400ft/lb of tourque
