Transmissions
I'm running high 400's hp range to the wheels, have 4.10 gears and a DTE stage III Rear end. I am looking to fix my trans cause the Syncro's are going. Should I go to thegearbox.org and build it myself or go with a pre made? What's the better deal? I would like some opinions, thanks guys!

I have an RPM IV A4, which is rated for 500 RWHP and very satisfied. I believe DTE is also considered a reputable transmission builder.
