Default what rear gear are you th400 (semi street) guys using?

i have 3.42s in the rear right now and was wondering if that is going to hurt overall 1/4 mile performance due to the smaller(smaller than 4l60e that is) 1st gear in my new th400. any info would be great.

Wayne, if you should decide you want 3.73's, maybe we could trade...I've decided to stay all motor for the forseeable future - can't afford a tranny and I'd rather race than break it on the bottle!

I run a t400 with a 4.10 gear, and 26" tall tire with trap speeds of about 125. You just can't speed on the freeway!!

check around and you'll find someone that can put more ratio in your 400. grand nats ran 3.42 but with a 2.75 first in their trans. 2.75 ratio is availble for the th 400 good luck
