where are you getting the tranny from? i would follow the recomendations of the tranny manufacturer. i would think it would dtill need it as it also controls fluid pressure, but the manufacturer could have fixed this inside the tranny.

well i dont know where im getting the trans from yet , im looking for someone reputable and one that will be able to handle 600hp on the spray and 450-500 na . So , i know it would be easier and cheaper with a 400 but i dont really want 3 speeds and then id have to change out the 410 s.

You would not need a tv cable with a full manual v.b. .. You may not want to hear this but a 700 may not be your best route with the kind of power you are making. You might want to look into a th400 with a gear vendors overdrive unit on it. That will give you some durability and still be able to hit the highway with your 4.10's. The 700 can be made beefy, but you are going to be pushing it when you are on the bottle.
