Question for the stick guys

Browell hands down!

A friend with a max wedge car has the Quicktime. Getting the fork right was a lot of work and the welds broke between the trans mount face and housing. For my new car it will be a Browell.

Browell hands down. You can get the window clocked where you want it, and it was dead on with alignment.

It was inline with QT's similar bellhousing in price, but was custom to where I wanted the window clocked. It has been money well spent, and clutch adjustments are very easy.

The best advice is regardless what brand you get, buy one with a window.

I have had both. They were both very nice and way lighter than the older Lakewood designs. The bro well was a lot more than the QT, but I did add the billet fork option and that was worth doing! The bro well has a little more room, and that is helpful. I think we are talking stockers here.
If you have a superstock car or a car that can legally run the deeper alum bell, browell and Boninfante both have super nice aluminum bells with windows. The Boninfante is a bit lighter. I think around 2500 for each by the time you get a fork

I am happy with my QuickTime, and bought a second as a "spare." Ross McCombs is a great guy (I met him at SEMA) and re-certified mine with no hassles at all.

Thanks a lot guys!!! This has been a long road but I keep getting that more closer to jamming some gears.

One drawback with the new Browells that we are dealing with now is that they are tapered so much, there is no room for the pro retainer, and the large 4.whatever inch opening, so getting our speed sensor wiring installed is going to be a bitch. The pro retainer has the connector built into it so tranny install and removal is a breeze. Haven't done it yet. Still assembling engine. Looks like there is enough surface to drill holes and bolt the pro retainer in, but Browell swears there's not.
