Persistence Is A Bitch
First off, thanks to the members who gave me feedback through PM's. I have yet to ask a fellow member a question and not get good info.
Some of you know that my fucking knee's have been giving me a lot of grief. Part of that is my job, but the end result is that I had a few times last year in traffic where I wondered if my leg would push the damn clutch in. I also have a turbo kit sitting in the shed, and was going to upgrade the stock tranny anyway, in some fashion.
Sooo, after a heck of a lot of thought, decided a 4R70 transmission was how I was going to upgrade the trans. It was not easy trying to sift through all the trans shops and whether to go with a 5R55 or the 4R70. I decided that with the potential of my turbo and with posible upgrades on the horizon, the 4R70 was the best choice.
A big thumbs up to STKJOCK for mentioning FB Performance. I was just about ready to give up on finding someone who could provide a comprehensive package when I contacted them. All I can say is that they have amazingly fast response time with comprehensive answers. I did try to provide them with all the information upfront so I could get a complete answer...it paid off.
So, this is what I am thinking of going with. Do you guys see anything missing that I should be thinking of?
