48re rebuild ????'s

[CEckardt]

Been trying to do research on rebuild or replace transmission. Obviously rebuild would be cheaper. I really just want to do this once so I'm torn between replacing with ATS, as every magazine on a shelf says they are great or rebuild using local parts (flex plate, converter, valve body) from dunrite, or order same parts from ATS. I got struck with the bug of more HP so I'm looking to fix up transmission. Just want the best most reliable product without spending on a name! I want results not hype.

Looking to be turning around 500 HP when done.

Thanks for the help, and I know I probably should have just left it alone.

I would spend more time searching on the TDR and less time reading mags to get some REAL info. Thats is why TDR is so valuable you can read years worth of first hand experience.



I like DTT

Brilliant. I was looking for more of a pros vs cons on the products. I really want to make the right choice and am not sure of complete replacement or rebuild, and or parts. On DTT web site I didn't really see what the torque converters are rated at.
As far as reading other mags, at times I have A LOT of time on my hands without computer access so I tend to get different books and mags to pass the time, and I like different opinions, although admitted it can cause confusion.

Transmissions need to spec-out Per-application,its does no good to be the best builder and spec it wrong. seek someone who is willing to buy out the time to fit your needs,generally this will require someone who has knowledge of hardware and performance.
