TH400, 80E... Questions..
I will be stepping up my power outage next winter, and I have a brand-new Performbuilt level 2 now. But with the numbers I think I might be hitting I don't think she will last.
So right now I am trying to look at my possibilities.
The price of the 80E's kind of scare me.. lol. But I really haven't found any 400's that will hold the power I am looking at. (800+).
Who builds a good 400?
What all is involved in swapping in a 400/80E?
What are there price range/deference's between the two tranny's?
Witch would you guys prefer?
Experiences with either?
I am wanting to have a RMVB, and a Trans brake as well.
Future plans for my car, is a forged 370 with a s88 turbo, you know with all the bells and whistles. I am not going to list everything, because its not needed.
What do you guys think? Feel free to copy and paste questions and answer individually.
Thanks
Lane

you can get a 80 out of a truck from a junk yard for 600-800 bucks. why sponsors want 3500 for them plus a converter baffles me. hell factory they are hella strong, and wit ha few goodies they are literally unbreakable
another idea is to get a sponsor to build you a special lock up th400- i know yank makes them and they are like 2000 bucks or so. ive read the turbos like low final drives so maybe a th400 with a lockup and a 2.7 final drive?
