Rebuild 700r4 or replace?
Hey guys Ive decided that my trans should be rebuilt or replace. My engine is making upwards of 400hpand while the 700r4 doesnt have any issues yet, it does have a shift kit and has around 160,000 miles on it. The previous owner putin a shift kit and im notsure if he rebuilt the whole thing but i doubt it. So anyways I would like to know if anyone knows of any good but not too expensive rebuild kits that also enable it to handle more horsepower/torque. I plan on installing nitrous in the future and definitely this year some nice drag radials that are street legal. So are the rebuild/performance enhancing kits reasonably priced? Or are they approaching the price of just buying another trans? i either want to rebuild this one or replace it with another auto or even better a manual, but either way it has to handle at least 450-500 hp. If anyone can provide any input on were to get a kit or if i should just replace it, it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.
