    jon does not have a stock 80e, while its not a crazy built one like mine is. Century Auto in Richmond built mine and thats who also built my allison, IMO they are better than FLT from what i have heard about them on the internet. Century has amazing customer service and insane turn around time he built mine in under 48hrs and it has alot of work in it. Its always nice to have a trans built local because if you have issues you can take the truck there. Oh rickys truck has a stock 80e and has had it for years now on that 6.0 and he beats the piss out of that thing

    edit: price i payed 1200 for a new unbuilt one then took it to century

    please go 80e, there is hardly any modifying, the trans crossmember has to be finessed, two wires on the main conector switched and a vss sensor added to the ecm and hpt tables swapped around. You will regret staying 60e plus aot of guys perfer the 80e first gear especialy for roll racing being able to start in first gear from a 40 roll.

    century is right out side of houston (on the west/southwest side) but they are $$$ be prepared to pay

    80e or TH400 are your best options. 60's suck.

    80E FTW!!!. My 80E is fully built locally and haven't had one single problem since it went in. I also did the High dollar BIG NAME 70E tranny route and blew that POS up in two weeks. Had it rebuilt and sold it. And first gear is awesome for roll racing. 1st gear from 55mph...

    I know 98+ work in the NBS, not sure about the NNBS. If there is a difference it's in the electrical.
