Well, I built my first Allison back around Christmas. It was the SCIII 1056 for my '05. As you can tell it's gone now:(, but I talked to Jim that owns it now. He's added some EFI tuning from a place in Ohio that I can't think of the name....:confused: Anyway, he put it on the dyno and it's throwing down nearly 500hp and around 880 tq!! Thats on 37's with stock gears :eek: I was so excited to hear this! I BUILT that trans and he said it is a freakin blast to drive!!
I'd love to be able to start building them regularly, but it's hard without having your own shop and a reputation built up already. But, i've done 3 other Allison's since then. 2 stock replacements and 1 more SCIII. They aren't running any big tunes though. The guy that I put the SCIII in had a Hypertech programmer. 2 of the guys are local and are pulling strong!
I still have a long way to go before I am even remotely close to the rep of Mike L or others but it's a good start! Plus I love doing it!

Just thought i'd share my excitement with you guys!

Haha! Thanks for the thought man! But you aren't TOO awful far from Mike. Hell, it's 3k miles for me and I thought real hard about going!
