Default flt and or performbuilt

I'm just trying to see how many people out there are running either one of them sucessful since inital install. I've heard mix reviews of both but never in same post. Reason for.this post is since I put in cam I kinda feel I'm on borrowed time now and narrowing down options... Right now its flt lvl 3 or pb lvl 2 and trusty 80e. since i currently have one truck down time is real minimal. Since I work m-f that only leaves sat. And Sunday

I run a PB level 3. With that being said save the time and money and get a 80e. Throw in a shift kit and let er rip.

My PB Lvl 2 broke on the 5th track pass with my wimpy truck... I got rid of the PB and built a 4L80e myself... I could not be happier...

I've got an 80e sitting on the floor, just need a converter. But can't get any intrest in my low mile FLT level 6 and PT 3600 Yank. So I'm gonna run the FLT till it slips and save for the swap till then. It never skipped a beat yet with my old 6 liter.
