Keep in mind all 2004Rs are not equal. The Grand National VB along with the Monte SS, and the Hurst/442 Olds directly affect full throttle up shifts. Lonnie at Extreme will hook you up as I have one of his 2004R behind my 71 442. Check out the TurboBuick forums for more info.

Most of these guys on the net machine their own parts which makes these transmissions so durable. Also all of them stand behind their product and are very helpful when it comes to installing or any issues that may occur
Also check CK performance. I got quoted around $3700 shipped, for the whole setup, tranny, TC, tv cable adapter.

Most of the noted builders have been mentioned. I would like to add David Husek, Don ****, and jimmys transmission in Il. Any can build what you need. I would chose one close but that is to save on shipping or getting the car there.

I agree, I wouldn't trust my local trans shop, not with the finicky 2004R. Supposedly does decent work but is a big BSer. Although a guy I worked with got a 4I70E built by him and it died right after the year warranty. No towing but he did drive it hard, still only a stock 5.3. If you can't build the dirt common 4I70E for regular duty, what can you build? I figured an upgraded used 2004R from ROP was less of a crap shoot for half the cost of the local guy. I am sure any warranty would be void anyways since I race.
