    Well, Lou is in the running for the worst website in my opinion. I know nothing about his transmissions.

    I like the parts list. He obviously has played with these trannies for a while. At the quick glance that I had at that tranny, he has all the goodies that I installed in my tranny. The only thing he is missing is the OD billet servo. Most people would never need that anyways. I have been pouring some 800 ponies at this beast for four years now, and no problems.
    Objects in my rear view mirror are a good thing unless,.... they have red and blue lights flashing.

    I've mentioned this company before, but I think they build about the best hi performance trans around, at super prices. Jackson Racing, Henderson, N.C. 828-388-3696.

    Go on Ebay, pull up one of their trans, and read the feedback. They have a 2003 rating with 100% positive. I've bought a fully race prepped c6 and the same in a turbo 350, and these trans are the best.

    I'm not on their payroll, honestly. I just like to tell my fellow rodders when I get a great deal, and when I get skunked. These guys are super.

    I will definitely look in to the Jackson Racing transmisions.I also thought MadDogs web site was a joke,but then I found them on E-bay,and their customer service rating was like 99 percent positive.I just want to be sure that If I pay for a 700 horse power trans ,I get a 700 horse power trans.

    Ehhhh, what about the blue (not the Chair Force blue)?

    We may have to consider this guy. Typhoon ZR, how much torque have you been dumping into the tranny? And is it used at the track or just casual cruising? Does it take the punishment of dropping the hammer at the line? My dad and I are looking for a street/strip tranny for once we get everything going with this build of ours, and we really don't want to pay $3,500 for one.

    Well, actually, they called my class A uniform greens, but They sure look blue to me.

    Greens=figure of speech. Army, and or Service talk. Greens, means, lean mean, fighting machine.

    If someone says they got their greens on, they are ready to fight.

    Especially from Denny the W! He's really just a talking dictionary and automotive book. Don't tell him I told you, it will rip his pages to shreads.

    Sounds like a reasonable guy, and the appear to have some good parts in em. If you go with his tranny let us know how it does.
    That dog on the site ain't so bad though, I managed to rip him right off the site and he didn't come back, must have scared him away.
