Call suncoast converters or sharadon performance, they are currently the only two building performance trannys for the new hemi, that I know of. The fastest N/A hemi is running a Sharadon tranny.
Sharadon is working on a nice setup using the clutches from the 68rfe diesel trans. It's holding up real good. It'll run in the $2500 range to get a trans done up.
Steep? Ask the deisel guys what "steep" is when it comes to performance trannys. My friend is about to pull the trigger on a $7,000 transmission for his Cummins. The new tranny that Sharadon is building is going to be amazing. It keeps all the factory settings and is very street driveable. As for it holding up to the power, the guy building it has a supercharged 392 stroked rumble bee and he hasn't blown the tranny yet, he trys to break them on a daily basis as well.
i wish dodge would offer a six speed manual for the hemi 1500.
Keisler has a 6spd for the LX cars, maybe a Ram version will be soon. They have the ability to delete the trans signal in the LX's though. You'd think the Ram could get the same pcm mod : http://www.keislerauto.com/mopar/tra...s/6-speed.html
