If one was looking for a high dollar transmission that bangs through the gears, it should be sourced elsewhere, but I have no problem believing that this trans is every bit as strong as a stocker and should handle up to 450 horsepower or more. Plus, here is California, any trans rebuild, mild or hot, would not cost under a grand like the TCI. I have had numerous stock rebuilds that had hihger costs and ran like crap.
I guess every brand has its negatives and positives. It just depends which unit it is.
