He is good and pretty quick. He works at a transmission shop by day and does them on the side at night and on the weekends. I am pushing over 500BHP. And have had the tranny that he built me in for over two years with no Issues. And I drive very hard and aggressive. He knows his shit!

Good news is I talked with Craig, what a world of info that guy is! Thats who's doing my heads as soon as I can get them down there, so thanks a million for his # bud.
Pro1 Trans, owner's name is Tim Frost. Him and his wife run the place, very nice guy, and knows what the racers want out of their transmissions. He really caters to the performance side of things.

Thanks man I appreciate it I will call them on Monday
I had the 4l60e in my fiances Gto built at century transmission in Richmond.
Treated us treat great so far.
When we installed it it wouldn't get 3 or 4 but 1-2-r were all working fine. The owner drove up to willowbrook to see what was wrong and it had to come back out. I took it over there a few days later and we pulled it apart, ended up having a hairline crack on the input drum. So part failure not builder issue.
They quickly fixed it (like an hour) and its been in there since. Shifts great, and made that car a ton of fun to drive. I'll take other trans out there to get built when needed. Great customer service.
