There are a few that sell a complete unit in National Dragster I've seen, but I don't have a current copy in the house. Air seems to still be more popular, but electrical is gaining steam due to no bottles to refill.

I was kind of wondering the same thing about the electric shift. Would be nice to not have to deal with filling your bottle after every run and lugging the big bottle everywhere. Seems most i have seen are using air though.

I ran a B&M shifter with s shiftnoid electric shifter. Its about the only electric shifter setup I coud find for a th400. The setup wasnt cheap however. I cant remember the model shifter I had.

We run an air shifter on our dragster and its not a hassle at all. It uses a co2 bottle like a paintball gun and it lasts about 6 months before you need to refill it. When I hook mine up to my cheetah some day I'm gonna go the same route.

Most of the guys I've talked to about it like the electric ones better. I know it's not a lot but you would save some weight by not having to put a Co2 bottle in your car and like someone else said, you don't have to worry about refilling your bottle.

I'd like to hear from those who are running electronic ones what they are using. I've been checking out the turbo action e shift and a coan electric trans brake valve body for a TH350.
