So I am fed up with my newly built trans that wont lockup......I am debating spending the money on a Finish line trans. My question is what level should I get....Not planin on doing anything crazy in the future. Just a Tr220

How about a low mileage, good running 60e from the yards? Put a shiftkit in it and servo and be done, if you're not planning on anything major in the future, it'll hold just fine.
Not trying to talk you out of an FLT, he's the best imo and that's who I use, but you're trying to get into a working trans and the best way might be that.
I think FLT has a great Level 2 or 3 with good upgrade for a great price if you're going FLT.
spend the money on an 80e
go overkill with the 5 cant go wrong hahah
not planning.....been their done that...but really if u dont really ever want to do it again, do a solid 80eQuote:

Just do the 80 and be done with it. I was worried about loosing power too, but everywhere I have searched everyone runs about the same ETs.Quote:

the reason for the same et is that most go with a stall converter and the 1st to 2nd gear ratio is way better than the 60eQuote:

same ETs but higher trap speeds and a little slower out of the hole. I wouldn't say the ratios are better, I kinda like being pinned in the seat from a dig.Quote:

Ok so I was reading allens write up and I have 2 questions. I was wondering what I would have to do on the driveshaft. And I didnt quite understand the shift braket that he had listed in parts needed. Luckily for me A salvage yard we deal with specializes in our trucks.
Here is a speedo run with the 70e, if the 80e improves on the shifts dropping that would be awesome..

1-2 shift has a better performance RPM drop on the 80E/THM400 gear ratios.
i would think the FLT level 4 would be good for just bolt on's
