Who makes a "bulletproof" 700R4?

[SportCoupe]

Art Carr?

Pro Built?

Raptor?

B&M?

Anyone?

Does anyone have any experiance or know of someone who had one of these or the like? Please go into detail...........

I wish I could tell you.
I can only tell you that B&M and TCI do NOT make bulletproof ones.
I've seen trannies from both of them get torn up by a ZZ4 with an LT4 hot cam and fastburn heads.

http://www.700r4.com/ claims to have "the worlds finest 700R4's"

I have Art Carr parts, but did not have a competent builder, therefore I cannot blame the failure on Art Carr. I know quite a few TR guys that swear by Art Carr transmissions/converters. I have to Agree with Will on B&M and TCI, definate thumbs down.

I dont think there is such a thing...

Granted maybe in a a few years when manufactures start making aftermarket parts (beefier) then maybe it might start holding up to decent HP..

I have heard BAD BAD things about the 700R4.com place .. the ONLY person I have heard "GOOD" things about is Pro-Built in California... but Im sure you will lay some coin down for one of those...

Here's two I've heard about: http://www.transmissioncenter.net/700MegaRaptor.htm and http://www.pro-built.net/

There is a guy who builds trannies for syty's everyone says his trannies are bullet proof, but they are $$$$$$$ This guy makes a lot of his own parts because he feels the ones offered aren't good/strong enough, if he can make trannies last behind 10,11,12 sec AWD monster's he got to know something, give him a call and talk to him yourself.

I've used Car-Pro and beat the crap out of it with no problems. I have a pro built now, no problems with it.

A friend has a bow-tie overdrive tranny, and they don't use shift kits, it shifts slushy.
