depends on how much you are gonna drive it around the street. the only difference between the two besides price is gas mileage. the 400 will be a lil faster on the strip (it takes less hp to turn) but other than that higher final drive ratio is the only difference.

put a th400 only if you dont drive much on the highway. if you do, 4L80e all the way. also th400 is MUCH easier on the budget

I went with the 4l80 But I sold my t56 to make up the difference. I wanted a th400 but I am happy I went with the 80 now. Much easier to drive to the local meets.

What type of shifter are you using with your 80?
