Here are some much better parts, you can get the best rebuild kit and the most expensive shift kit for around the same price as the B&M garbage kit.

Go to my web-site www.pro-built.net and check out my rebuild kit on the 700R4 (HD or Street/Strip), you will see it is the most complete kit out there for what you need/want, and with all the options you might need. If I can be of help, let me know?

Would the street/strip rebuild kit build basically the same 700R4 that I'd get for 1395$ from you? How much power/torque is this setup rated (providing I bought the whole tranny from you since trannies scare me.)

Yes, the parts I use are the same that you would be getting in the Street/Strip parts kit. It should handle around 550-575 horsepower & apx. 550 lb. torque with a A.C.T. 9.5" lockup torque converter, or a Continental 10" non-lockup TC. With the 12" TC you will break parts (due to the weight). I hope this helps.
