I would hands down go with a Suncoast kit and probably just got with an SC IV

MA is a Suncoast kit... I would hands down go with a Suncoast kit and probably just got with an SC IV

From what I understand Eric has started doing the machining in house and uses Alto Clutches (same clutches as the SunCoast).

I would also recommend going straight to a SunCoast Stage IV. Don't know of any shops down your way but SunCoast is right next door in Florida and we're in NC. Difference is we can hook you up with a package deal on Stage IV Trans, EFI Live, tuning, lift pump, ect.

and eric uses the Precision torque convertor unless a special request (added cost) is ordered for something different IIRC.

Mine IS an SCIII done up by Eric though... at least that's what I've been led to believe. :angel:
