I am quite concerned about my transmission.
It's a stock transmission that I bought from Josh. Which has served me well. I did install my Sharadon Stage 3 valve body but I have never pushed it hard. With the power expected, a failure is quite apt to happen.
I was originally planning for an 4L80E tranny which will require an adapter to mate with the 6.1 and a controller. Not sure of the cost. The old defunct builder felt that a stock 4L80e would handle the expected HP. What do you think?
Would it be better to go with a Sharadon Stage 3?

A 4l80 is able to take 500hp all day stock. Convert a few karts inside and your good to 900-1300 spew do on what's done inside.
A stage three Sharadon will work I'm sure provided all the links are worked out of his builds most everyone has had an issue or two with everyone sad to say.
If you go 4l80 will need adapter and converter with trans controller and a diff drive shaft if you do the manual 4l80 won't need controller but will need all the other stuff
Stage 3 $3400 ish 4l80 $ 4000 ish depending on mods and what not

If drive shaft is too long, it can be shortened, right?
