Basically a fully built transmission.

All the billet shafts, flexplate, tq converter, valvebody, and upgraded clutches, steels, pistons and bands. Suncoast builds a really tough trans as does NADP. Some guys have had great luck with ATS and DTT. All are pretty close in price, each hase there own little pros and cons. I love my Suncoast. I just started selling NADP. So, I would recommend those two not because I sell them but because I use them.

Twice the price for 3 times the performance. Towing or racing or just hauling the mail the auto is the way to go fast. I used to be a 6 speed guy all the way, but with wanting to go fast you just can't. If you want to have a lot of hp towing, clutches are a SOB. Thats why I went over to the auto.
