Default 4L60E w/4600UY or TH400 w/4600&T-brake?

Well, I've been thinking. I'm getting a cam from TSP (MS3) on the 24th and right now the car runs sub-7.50's consistently. I currently have a Yank 4000 Pro-Thruster on my Century Tranny built 4l60e. Everythings working perfect, I'm just looking to go faster. Not sure what it's going to be capable of after cam, but I'm wanting to run sub-7's. I like the idea of a overdrive, but think I would like a transbrake too. So, here's the question, would it be "faster" to buy a ultra-yank 4600 and put it on my 4l60e. Or sell the 4l60e and buy a good built 400/350 with a 4600 and a transbrake? I know I loose overdrive, but its not that big of a deal. I have a 12-bolt w/ 4:30s right now, so im not really worried about it breaking. The car weighs 3200 lbs. w/o me in it (130lbs.) Thanks. Going to do one of the other pretty soon. Thanks again, all replies are appreciated.

Well........technically yes. It's my only car, but if I have to go very far or on a long trip, I use one of our other vehicles. The car still gets 17.5 mpg in town and 23 on highway doing 75.......hahaha, gotta love new technology. But the car is almost getting to where I need to make a decision. Mostly track and weekend warrior or keep streetable. That's kinda where I'm at. Someone else even brought up using a 200. That way I can have line-lock and overdrive. Suppose to be lighter than a th350 too. I need to look into that more. Thanks for the reply.

The UY4600 is too big,it needs a 7000 shift point to work properly.
I'd run a TP4400 in the 4L60E or a TH400 w/a TP4400,U could go TP4600 too

The UY is mainly for a light car with a 7K shift point...

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I will be on stock bottom end (for now), so shifting at 7K is probably out. Maybe a art carr 200-r4 w/ a 4400 and t-brake is more what I need. Glad this forum is here......
