Default Where to get good transmission locally

Anyone know where I can get a transmission that can handle around 1500Hp built locally? Looking to go with either a turbo 350 or 400. Thanks

why not a glide at that hp level? I've got a friend that's around 1,000 to the wheels thru a 5,000 stall (with the glide) and he tried a 350, 400 , c4, , hell, just about everything and he finally is happy with the glide and hasn't broke any more trannys ( he has a jw )

Thanks for the replies. This is going in a street/strip car, so I rather have a 3 speed in it for trips to Orlando and Daytona. I have tried a glide in a previous car and it was no fun driving on the street, but it was great for the track. Does anyone know Fernando's phone #.

doesn't a glide and a TH350/400 have the same final gear ratio?

Not anybody that's actually driven a 1500hp car, that's for sure. I'll take the 1.xx first gear, thankyouverymuch.
