N20 setup questions.
Been working on this car for a while, buying piece by piece but I come to realize I need some help in this build. It's an ls1 with ms3 cam and 243 heads. Dual springs, 5 angle valve job, LS2 chain, ls7 lifters. Plan on putting nos to it but I kno my tranny won't hold up. Need a new built tranny or a kit that will hold 700rwhp. Any ideas guys?

Depends on how deep your pockets are. RPM seems to always get recommended but its serious $$. I ended up buying a 750hp kit (PM me for the seller) that cost about $1200 two years ago. Since I live in OKC (the 405 and I do know some of the tv guys) I knew where Farmtruck has his trans work done. I took the kit and my trans to that place and told him do do whatever was needed. His labor and some more parts were another $1100. But I've got a great transmission now for $2300. We did all this while my tuner was installing the new ECS 3.42 differential. GL with the build.

I'm pretty skeptical on where to take this car for anything especially the drive train. I'm in the lower part of middle tennessee and I'm not sure about the ships around my area. I've already had my tranny rebuilt cause 3-4 gear went out so I had to get it fixed. Dude I took it to put a clutch pack and trnasgo shift kit in it. It's been holding ever since and that's been about lil over a year ago but now I got this new motor setup I'm working and I know that tranny won't hold up long at all but do I need to upgrade the torque tube or no?

I'm pretty picky on where to take it anyways. I know you know you can't just take these cars to anyone and I want to take it to the right person. I bought my motor thats going in the car from Cleveland TN, that's a 3 hour drive from me. The guys name is Chris Light he owns his own shop and specializes in LS swaps so I might take it over there and have then tune it
