Or if you need it to handle power and can DIY...
Monstertransmissions.com they are based in Florida. I've had great experience with them I'm the past. Call them if you aren't sure or if you wanna mitch - match parts in a kit but from mild to ridiculously wild they have the parts for you...or just get one already built!

but you know what they say in retail. if you have a good experience somewhere you might tell 3 people and if you have a bad experience you will tell 10.

If company's like summit don't carry it then be careful because at least they stand behind the products they sell. You might find it cheaper elsewhere but good luck if you have a problem.

I ordered mine from Makco, and also ordered another direct clutch and steel (machined the piston down to fit it), as well as a second set of sun gear bushings (more support), and a hardened intermediate sprag.  I also did the mods to dual-feed the direct clutch.

Wow.... I got nothing else to say about this one! I take back my advice and second this one.

This is a very good point that I never really thought of.. I do a lot of business with summit. I've easily spent $3k in the last 3 months and have no issues.
