More confused than ever! First off, I cant even imagine paying anywhere under 1000.00, let alone 2000.00 to get anything hat will hold up. Maybe cause Im in NJ Im used to higher pricing, but 700.00 w/ a convertor? Wow!

Astroracer, great idea about local and I would prefer, but just dont know of anyone around here.

A few of you comented on a 700r4 not holding over 4-500hp. I have seen some rated to 800. Is this nonsense? I thought if the sun gear was re-done it was a little stronger, especially with the 30 spline. Cant keep my th350 cause highway is to high in the rpm depo?

Mikes trans would be good but I believe they are more powerglide oriented. Now I'm more confused than when I asked!
