IMO unless you're runnin over 1000fwhp a th400 is uselsess.....a strong built th350 is ligther, takes less to spin, and WILL last.....ive got a built 4L60E in mine and ive been beating the snot out of it fo 3 years now.......im making well over 600fwhp on mine and been running in the low 10's conisistanly with it.........and the best part is with a lock up over drive trans i can still cruise down the highway at 80mph with out baking the trans or motor.....
