Agreed, I prefer a lower volume kit with perfection, performance, and proper fitment.

Same way here. Fit, finish and performance first. Money will come with reputation and results. Not resting on laurels.
I wouldn't say that. My Hellion twin kit is very well built and I would easily recommend it to anyone. That and the customer service has been nothing short of great!
I even had John call me out of the blue to check how things were going on the install on a "Used" kit! Then he offered to send me anything I needed that I was missing at no charge! Can't say I have EVER had that kind of customer service from anyone!
I didn't even get a call back from PBTH and I even went with Jake and the crew to KOTS in 09!

They have been too busy over at Lund Racing and PBH fixing all the blown up BBR cars with crap tunes LOL
I just had the car on another trip from MD to FL and drives wonderful. No quality issues whatsoever.
As stated above the delay was due to foundry issues as they wanted to keep the metal work "made in America".

I wasn't talking about the twin kit though.
I know. I have no personal experience with the single kit. I have seen your single kit before and the quality was Top Notch! :thumbsup:
oke: . Oops :wf:
The threads I have read, the single kit was nothing to mess with. It was a pass.
If I recall correctly, the stock transmission had to be rebuilt due to the power level of this car. It's now using upgraded internal parts. This isn't anything negative about the 6R80 transmission because the car is a monster. I would have never expected it to last as long as it did. For my expectations, the stock 6R80 will be perfect.

Nope it had the stock MT82 in it until this past weekend. Now it is has a 6R80 in it
Sorry, I was thinking about Lund's car, not yours. Oops....my bad. Crazy brain hasn't had enough coffee yet.
How are you liking the auto compared to the manual? I ordered mine with the auto.
Havnt picked it up yet man. Waiting on the converter to come in. It should be a hell of a good time. Im ready to sit back and hold the hell on :beer:
If someone is building serious power in this car, the MT-82 isn't an option. Sure, you could swap for the Tremec Magnum, but the stock auto in this car is a beast. IMO, it's a far better buy in this car, despite preferring a manual myself.
Exactly. I found a local guy who wanted to go manual and we just swapped drivetrains and PCMs. If you want 8-900rwhp with the auto, change out the clutch packs ($500) and you will be good to go for awhile.
A magnum swap is 7k with Mcleod clutch, Alum DS, and install.....no thanks lol
Agreed, the upcharge you pay for the auto when buying the car new is a far better investment. Someone recently laughed at me for choosing the auto when I custom ordered my car. I told them, if this were 2010 or earlier....I would be laughing with you. However, this is the new breed of automatic transmissions. They are nearly as efficient as the manual with about the same mpg rating, yet far greater power handling.
IDK, I guess I'm old school. I don't want an auto. I don't really care what ET the car goes. If it feels good that's all I care about.
the fact that the 13+ come with the select shift is a nice advantage with the auto as well, you can maintain your gear with spirited driving on the back roads, that makes it much nice
plus the great e.t.'s!
