Default Good tranny shops in and around Baton Rouge, La?

My front pump recently went out and im fearing it contaminated the entire tranny. Can anybody recommend a good tranny shop in southern Lousiana? Im in Baton Rouge so the closer the better. Im looking for a built 4L65e to replace my blown paper weight. thanks

Austin,
check with Justin (with the Chevelle). he has a guy in Prarieville, I think it's Performance Transmission, that he had recommended. The guy allways has race cars around his shop, I'm thinking he has a little experience in building transmissions that can hold up.

EDIT:
the trans shop "white1" is using is around the corner from my house, but he isn't have the best of luck

In defense of the shop doing my work. This is the first one they built that I didn't break before driving it. I went yesterday and looked at it, and actually believe that the tranny was built well. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CONVERTER FLUSHED.

Litredevil builds them too I think. He's in Houma.

Or PM me or give me a call, and Ill line you up with the guy doing mine. It was awesome till I ruint it...................again.

I wasn't meaning it sound bad about them, it's just that the verdict is still out IMO, nicest of people though, I hope they get it worked out.

When I was at Thunder the other day I asked them to recommend a shop. And they said that they use Kenny's Transmissions. I called em earlier today and he sounds pretty knowledgable. Plus he said he would come pick my tranny up since I wont have time to make it to the shop cause of work. I'll most likely use him unless hes got a bad rep or something like that. Thanks for all the replies.
