Ever wanted Overdrive?

I agree 100% Ink. The compromises are really a thing of the past. With the right catalogues or perhaps just great fabbing skills a street strip ride should have no problems doing both. Turbo's also help greatly in this regard,as you can build massive power and still be a daily driver.

Agreed nothing is perfect. Im sure GV has had thier fair share of issues but just the fact they are willing to back it up when your pushing 1000 h.p says lots about thier product confidence.

I think I will be getting more for my money by getting the GV unit.

As for your trans buddy,he must be a good builder. That being said you can build any tranny to withstand the sort of abuse a race car dishes out. All depends on how much your willing to spend and your skills/work habits as a builder.

Maybe by the time Im ready for the GV unit Mcleod will have worked out thier units issues?

in all fairness my friend has used alot of gear vendors in the past. and aside from a few failures, has had good luck with them. problem arises when you are making alot of torque and want to run a loose enough convertor for strip use. a guy I used to work with had one in his Cummins powered Ram, thing had close to 250k miles and never had a problem with it. he towed with it on a regualr basis, usually right at the edge of the trucks capacity, and it never broke. he pulled the gv unit off and installed it on his new truck. my trans buddy is pretty good. he is one of those guys that if something breaks, he does his best to fix the reason why it broke, not just replace the broken part.
