For a tranny, there is only one place to go, trust me:
www.rpmtransmissions.com
check the website for pricing. Or call Rodney directly. They can set you for the tranny and anything else you need.
Once you buy their tranny, you're set for a long time! In one word, they're the BEST!!
Every FI equipped car on this forum runs a RPM Tranny! That tells you something. Plus Rodney and Todd are great guys to deal with!
Don't go elsewhere!

That's coming from a very very happy customer!

I spent over $1500 repairing mine for a simple output seal leak. If I had to do over, I'd go with RPM. Cost more but you get a quality product with a warranty.

Check the link I gave you. You would pay $1695 for a level 4 tranny from RPM and $1995 for a level 5. The latter has been installed on cars running 9seconds in the 1/4 mile! Very strong tranny and it shifts really smoothly .
The prices I gave you don't include a converter.

Trust me,you can't go wrong with RPM transmissions! Many members running FI have RPM tranniesin their cars and I haven't seen a single complaint yet. This is what motivated me to get one. And after over a year of street abuse with close to 500 RWHP, it still feels like new!

Good luck!

I purchased a transmission from BoweryBoy last year. Vette Dr's had rebuilt it as a spare for him.

I'm very happy with it. No problems at all.

RPM does great work from the posts out there and it is his specaility, but like I said, I'm very happy with mine. And you are local to Vette Dr's!

Your in good hands w/the Vette Doctors, they are pros & whatever they charge will be worth it.

Down here we charge $2400 for a level 4 build including the take out & install of the new one. Turn-around is app 4-5 days. We drag race this tranny in our C5 every weekend and it is as tough as can be.
