Th400 built to hold 800hp
I had the local trans shop precision transmission, overhaul my th400 to hold up to 800hp. It is a little over what I should be making on nitrous (750). Put in a tci RMVB and not sure what internals... Bill came out to $1058... Sound reasonable for that price? What parts in the th400 are a must to upgrade to hold up to 800hp? Thanks for any help
Also got an extreme warrior 3700 stall 10.5 inch converter custom built for my car by west coast converter.
455 block .30 over 463. forged rods and pistons cast steel crank. Hoping to spray a 200hp shot 10.5:1 compression

The TH400 will easily handle that with very minor modifications. You should have spent at most $600 if you pulled and installed the tranny yourself.

I am not trying to make you feel bad, and the price he charged you is pretty much standard fair these days at any commercial shop. They do have have quite a bit of mark up to cover overhead.

A little, but a front pump is +- $100. You can get a rebuildable core for about $125. So, I guess what I am trying to say is, for no more than $700 I can build a th400 with a transbrake that will handle >800hp. Once you start going over 1100hp, things start to get more expensive because you would have to start looking at after market shafts...

I will be putting in a 2step for the launch. I was advised to have the 2step lower than my stall which is 3700. Reason being is because is gives a little slack on the launch about 6 inches then for it to flash to hit hard... I was thinking for the instant 3700rpm hit. Any advice on what rpm to have the 2 step at? I will also be spraying between a 200-250 shot operated by a wot and window switch. Thanks for any help.
