and how much power do you have and what power adder.
on top of that what is you et

i am doing this so i can determen what i want to run for a trans i would like to run low 12's high 11's and be abel to drive around still with out woring if its going to let go

 

th400, all the way, 3800 stall.
built by a good friend and SITTING in my garage waiting for my broke *** to put it in a car.

dont even bother with a 700r4, it WILL break.
if you arent putting down sick amounts of power, and on a really sticky tire, a th350 would work great too. just make sure and throw some good parts in it, and a GOOD converter.

my only prob is i drive about 300 miles a week so i will have to think on this a bit unless i can get a 200 4r

 

If your going with a 200R4, grab some cash, grab a turbo buick core and drop by the turbo buick boards.. there are several expert 200R4 builders there... set you up right with whatever you need. Just expect to spend some jack to build one right.

Or you could get a probuilt 700r4. His trannies can handle over 600 hp and you have overdrive to go long with it.

 

Yep thats what i'm packing. Got about 380rwhp/450 tq.

 

low 12s/high 11s is very easily handled by a 700R4 o/d tranny. just have to have the right builder build it, thats all

 

I agree. I used a 700R4 for three years and primarily drag raced the car. I took it on some road trips but it held up given the beating it was taking. I was in the low 11 range for a good portion of that time period as well.

It must be well built though. I dont know if a stock one would handle it that well.

for what its worth, I bought mine from darrel young's racing transmissions and was very pleased. You might do a search on www.google.com for his website.

Very good product.

 

yea, but what's in it now, Guido?

 

getting a th350 from a friend that has all TCI guts and tranny brake along with hardly used TCI anti baloon plate 10" 3800 converter all for $400 in a day or so. He ran it all season with a 8" 4500 converter and the converter died inside of it, so I have to go through it. I prefer building my own trannys anyhow. its going behind a 352 destroked 400 with a really cranked P1-sc
