DFW Tranny shop? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I installed a 700R4 and loved the fun I had the three days I had with it.

I know they weren't originally built for high HP engines, but I thought it would last longer than three days.... After about four or five HARD hits on the street, the planetary is trashed. So what shops in the DFW area have reputations of being good at building 700's to handle the power of a BB? I've called about five shops today, only two would touch it and only one would warranty it when I take it to the track, Dave's Racing Automatics in Irving. They quoted me a price of $800 installed and dialed in.
