Does anyone on here have any experience with BD's allison upgraded trans and TC? My local diesel performance shop is suggesting that I put this in. Or do you feel that the Suncoast unit is superior. BTW they are telling me about 6K for everything installed. Thanks

For that price get a suncoast. My stage IV cost $2700 for parts and $1000 for the install plus a little oil. I don't really know anything about the BD parts, they may be fine but Suncoast is a proven kit and is much cheaper.

I want a Suncoast too,and the price was more 3-4000 dollars,[when I did the pricing] but IMO 6 is a bit too high

Is the suncoast a build kit or a swap. The BD was a swap with converter. Also do you know any Suncoast dealers around Lancaster, PA. Thanks
They have vendors on this site that build,ship,core and warranty these units,and their service is great.One of these vendors can hook you up real nice.. There is also a mech on here that built his own stage 4 IIRC....

The price that i was mentioning was for a build kit. They have a complete transmission for a swap, it is the Stage V. I am not sure the price on it, but i still think you would be under 6k for it and would have a better Tranny IMO.

Thanks, I will have to check into this a little further. Would be nice to know if anyone here has any experience with the BD unit. I am curious how it holds up. My tech says that he has installed for about 6 guys in my local area and they all like it. Guess I'll have to ask him who they are so I can get some feedback from them.

a shop that one of my friends works at suggested that i buy the bd, so i looked into it it was only rated for 450 hp and was about the same price you mentioned, for less money you could get a trans that would hold over 600 hp or something comparable for a ton less. thats why i went with ats
