Default how long do you think my trans will last

with a cam. I mean it shifts pretty dang hard right now and spins tires between first and second shift so i dont think it will last very long with a cam.

Roll the dice there is no real way to tell. I would do the trans and converter before the cam personally. Unless your parents will buy the trans for you if you blow it after you put a cam in it.

Where are you getting a transmission like that for $1000?

I have a vette servo and it doesn't break the tires loose. If you are breaking the tires loose on 1-2 shift with a stock transmission, something isn't right and it isn't going to last long like that...
