Default Performabuilt Transmission in a C5

Just wondering who has gone with them. I have heard very good things about them but I was just wondering who was using them and your thoughts. Thanks in advance

I do not disagree with you. However my budget will not allow me to go that way. I might be making a mistake but at this time my budget is tight as I am sure a lot of peoples is right now. I would just like to know how many corvettes are running a performabuilt tranny. Thanks
