Has anyone used one of these two establishements and if so what did you think of their products. I would probably be looking at a 200 raptor from the transmissioncenter and a level 3 from the bowtieoverdrives. What do you all think about the builds and would they stand up to what they are claiming? Thanks for any input!
anyone use transmissioncenter.net or bowtieoverdrives.com

once someone who doesn't know these trannys screw it up it is goin to cost a lot of $$$ to try an straighten the thing out IF you can ... ohhh stay away from Bowtie's 
neither builder uses a billet shaft forward drum.at 1699 it comes standard in ours,i spoke to bowtie twice about warranty issues with two units that went bad and the guy i spoke to chris was less than remotely interested in resolving the issues
There is a local guy here with warranty issues that have yet to be resolved after 6 months. He is still fighting with Bowtie Overdrives and I helped them set it up according to the spec sheet they sent with the trans. One thing I found to be stupid is (they want you to test pressures and write them down) to do a full throttle pressure test with the TV cable removed. In all shifter positions. And pressure tests with the cable attached. We did not do the cable removed tests. Fluid is black and full of metalflakes.
Thanks for the info everyone. The trans is for a chevy 350 engine actually and figured since the buicks have more power there may have been folks with problems. Looks like bowtieoverdrives isn't very good. How much should one expect to pay for a properly built 200r4 to withstand 400 HP and 400 lb/ft of torque. I feel like that would be my upper limit.
