4l80 with trans break I have a built 4l60 right now but thinking about going with a 4l80 on brake. Was going to go th400 but I do like my overdrive. Any thoughts or recommendations on this? Would like it to hold about 7-800 rwhp. If not I'll end up going th400 but just pondering the idea right now

Jakes is definitely at the top of my list and I'll check out texas converter. But my main question was do you guys recommend the 80 over the 400? This is more of a street car but does go to the track 5/6 times a year.

Those are some pretty serious claims for someone who hasn't even gotten it up and running yet.
I'm glad you are happy with your purchase, let us know how it works out for you. Most of the crew at NTC used to work for me, so where do you think they learned from. They didn't wake up one day and all of the sudden become expert builders.
We also have the last 2 years of experience that they haven't been involved in or learned from.
Now they get to learn on their own. There are some hard lessons down that road.
As I stated earlier,
"proven" products, not hopes and dreams.

Lol ok guys too much testosterone flowing in this thread haha. I will definitely be giving jake a call to hear his thoughts on my build along with texas converters. I've heard nothing but good things about jake and texas.
So I'm guessing you guys say go with the 80 and not the 400?

Man call North Texas converter!!!!customer service is top notch!!!! I was in the same situation you are in, I called and practically beg top name sponsor on this site to call me ..I sent them PMS and they were very unconcerned on the many question i had for them...I fell like the amount of money i was about to spin i had the right to talk to the owner or the person building it not a shop helper..I bet once you call North Texas converter you will buy one of there transmissions!!! not to many company's will call you on a Sunday and give you detail summary on your build ..Not to many builders will give you their cell phone and tell you to call any time if you have any questions.Buying a transmission for them is more than a sell its a FREINDSHIP!!!!!!!!!I am so glad that sponsor was to busy to return my call!!!lol IF HE WOULD HAVE I WOULD HAD A TRANSMISSION WITH A SLOW SLOW SET AND RELEASING TRANS BREAK......NORTH TEXAS CONVERTER
NORTH TEXAS CONVERTERI agree, you shouldn't have to beg someone to spend your money and also get the my s*** doesn't stink attitude. Notice that Ntc doesnt have to come in here and argue and bikker with customers. Super classy.
With Ntc you aren't only a customer but also a friend. They are some of the nicest coolest people in the world. I love my trans from them and recommend no one else. With that said OP, go with an 80 from Ntc you won't be disappointed. Link in my sig. . .

Jake and his wife are some of the nicest people I've ever dealt with and almost a year after he built my 4l80 I called him up and said my setup had stepped up dramatically . He offered to build me a wicked th400, shipped my 4l80 back on his dime and delivered my th400 in person when he and his family were on their way to a family vacation. I have nothing good or bad to say about NTC. However I do know that they used to work for Jake so obviously most of what they are building will be from tricks they learned from Jake. Jake has so much volume out there that of course at times there's going to be issues, and I would bet the majority of the time what we fail to find out is that when the issue is resolved it was end user error likely 9 out of 10 times. In the end spend your money with who you are most comfortable with, but my money will continue to go to Jake and his wife as they have always gone above and beyond the normal scope of a sale to help me out.
