The good: Finished getting the motor in yesterday. Runs like a scalded dog.
The bad: The tranny started slipping after about 10 miles.
The ugly: Tranny is shot after 20 miles.

This is just my luck. Four months to get this beast built and the tranny goes after 20 miles. 20 miles?!? I didn't even have time to get on it good.

I knew this would happen but figured it'd at least last a couple of months. Anyways, I need a new tranny, one that can handle ~500 hp right now, and potentially more in case I ever decide to spray it. I can get this one http://www.rosslertrans.com/Th350%20...OMPETITION.htm that will handle it, but the price is up there (~1500 after everything is said and done). TCI is about 1700, but I don't think it's as good as the Rossler. Any other recommendations out there?
