If you are looking for a specialist and/or an upgrade, strap it to a pallet and send it to RKT performance in Maryland. I know, pain in the butt to ship it away but Rick IS a specialist and will do a great job.

then your best bet is to send it to Texas speed and get it exchanged for a RPM transmission. id go with a reputable builder over "some local guy" RPM, RTK Tick ect... have proven track records and good reputations if something isent right.

Jason at TDP (Texas drivetrain performance)... he is in Weatherford (just west of Ft. Worth) so it's a little drive but worth it
