Actually, there's plenty of info if you search. Also, you might be better off going with a built TH350. It's lighter and takes less power to run.

A turbo 400 is built a little stronger i hear but what are you going to be doing with the car racing or cruising?

well a 350 is good but i would say a 400 if its made to run hard will hold up better. My dad went through 3 350's racing but when he got a 400 no problem ever. just to let you know.

With very little modifications, the TH400 can take 750HP. With a couple of hard part changes they can handle well over 1000HP.
