Default Built Trans TK performance or Mass accelerations?

Looking to see if anyone had any transmissions done by either one of these shops. Also if you did stage 1 2 or 3? As I would like the strongest one but will it have any drivability disadvantages? I really only take car out on sundays or fri/sat night to race. I prob wont go above 1000hp but I want it to be 100% bullit proof as I’m on my 2nd oem trans, unfortunately last time it went there were no companies offering built transmissions then. I plan on doing more work but before that I want what I feel the weakest link replaced, bc even now I’m always worried about it going again eventho its fine now for the past 3 years with around 750rwhp

Also I noticed that TK performance now has a transbrake for these trans, bc dig racing with these cars off a flashlight sucks as its so delayed. But then again at track my best times were leaving off idle so is it worth it to change converter as well and transbrake? As is car goes 9s spinning but that was before the 15” conversion havent been back since… after trans looking for a max effort build using stock blower, I know cars go high 8s I would be happy with 9:20s-9:30s. As is car runs extremely well for what it is and always get accused of having nitrous due to my NX lid for meth lol.


I’m running a 15” conversion with a 28” tall tire so I was thinking of doing a rear gear swap to 3:47 or 3:90s to compensate for the 28s from the 26s as the 28s kill my lowend. Thanks in advance I appreciate it.

I am running Tim King stage 3 8l90. Over 30 1/4 passes in the 9.5 et range or below, and countless roll on WOT pulls on the street

I know Tim King's personal C7 with 8l90e went 8.3 in the 1/4. His cost for the stage 3 build seems reasonable compared to others
