The Built Toyota trans is great if you don't want to go any bigger than 61 or 63.
I had a 63 and the first gen SP trans didn't like it too much, but supposedly the 2nd gen ones are quite a bit better and will hold up just fine to 63 power.
The SP400 I have in the car now is out of control! The shifts are SO quick and SO firm. There is no doubt about this trans... It is expensive, but IMHO is worth the money.
I have a video uploaded of in my car from roughly 5500 RPM in 1st to 8300 RPM in second gear, so you can hear how quick the shift is. It is INSTANT and there is no slippage at all. Datalogged on low boost it took 1.79 seconds to do that (55~60MPH-125MPH).
There was massive tire spin on the shift though, because cold pavement, cold tires, and 850 RWHP apparently aren't a good combo.
I can't post the link to the video here because the title contains a cussword and CL blocks it out. If you want to check it out though to see how quick the shift is go to theking.teamkonceptracing.com and download the file "ohshi*.mpg"
