DONT DO IT!!!!! When I first starting modding my truck back in 2005 I went with there punisher rated at 500hp and drove my truck there and had them do the install when they were in still in the Tampa area (Tarpon Springs). To make a long story short, they never properly stalled my torque converter, never installed the transmission cooler, It broke after 6 months, they fixed it and it broke again 2 months later and would not honor the 1 year warranty after that and lied about installing a 65E, It was a 60E when I saw the pieces after my mechanic tore it down. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! Here is the full story about my experience and is also searchable on the major search engines. http://www.onlinewar.net/maddogindex.html

you could always buy the build parts and have a reputable trans shop near you build the trans for you by installing the parts??? Id do that before i took a risk with outlaw

For the price it's not all that bad if you think about it. $2000 for a full built FLT once, or $1300 a few times for something like an Outlaw. It's all about perspective.

i wouldn't have a problem buying the parts to build the trans if i knew a reputable shop who could install them. But if you are buying a built trans, then performabuilt or FLT would be the way to go.
