Default Gear Vendors Overdrive!

http://video.ls1tech.com/category/Su...3500b4b3c5.htm

Not sure if this is the proper section for this since it is a video, but this is the first time I have ever seen this contraption in action. Looks pretty neat with the exception of the price. It's in the middle of the video, so keep watching.

very heavy unit and would be a bitch getting it to fit with true duals. Not to mention that the price isnt worth the performance.

Agreed, but 8 gears is still pretty neat. I wonder how it would drive.

idk why you would with a boosted car, because you want long gears, mayb leave the overrive on to race and off to drive around until you get on the freeway, but imagine a n20 motor with 456 gears and a th400, with od being able to do 2500 rpm at 70, and still ahve 4.56

YEah, I wouldn't get it for a 4l60e, but If I had the money, I'd put it on the th400, Like daniel said. It would be the best of both worlds.

Default gv od

just remember if you have a stall converter don't try to run it below the stall because it will just slip. good luck
