Vortech makes a great unit as well. As stated, any of the big three will be good, KB, while awesome, is better with modular motors.

The Vortech S-Trim is a great SC for our cars. The Paxton is nice as well, as Kweb probably stated. You can find some great used prices on SC's over at the Corral under the classified section. It's where I got mine. As for times with the Vortech, check out my sig. And that's with bald Nitto Drags, and an AODE.

Yes, only the brand new Vortechs you don't have to tap the pan for. It's not hard by any means, and there are a lot of things you can do to prevent issues.

ya, its not bad at all. I was nervous as hell though while doing it

You should be fine with the trans and rear end right now... but after the sc you should start thinking about making them stronger (added hp and trq, wear on older parts)
