just west of central NJ in PA is JS Performance --->
Josh does excellent trans work

Charlie @ SSP might do trans work too, I'm not sure but might be closer to you --->

Ya I use to always see them and the vette when I drove by. My buddy takes his 68 velle over there too. As long as they know about 4l60e it should b fine

Yeah, I had them rebuild the 700R4 in my Camaro a few years back. I used that car as a DD and raced it every Saturday it shifted perfectly every time. His brother is a really good racer, that's how I found out about them.

Performabuilt is great if you like getting a transmission back that is weaker than the stock one...

Since stalker deleted my post earlier...

Other than looking silly for such a naive comment, do you have any proof of your claim? If your basing it off what I think you are, you are being silly and dumb.

Performabuilt is a good option. Joe (ramair95ta) runs 10s on one, and Adam will be running a lvl2 behind his 450hp engine. My vote would go to Jake's transmission, because they are great guys to deal with and make killer transmissions.

No not just saying that cause Beggs blew a few up. Since coming to Texas, I know 3 people that have bought Level 2 4L60E's from them. All 3 have had either a problem or complete failure within the first month of purchase. All cars had 450hp or less. The company didn't even want to help them and said "If you raced the car, it isn't out problem." Not saying that every single trans they make will break, but between the problems I've seen and the service the customers received, you couldn't pay me to put one in my car if I was auto. Just my .02
