Rossler TH400 info needed I figured I could get this info here without waiting until Monday to call them.
Has anyone bought their "terminator 2" TH400 that sells for $1,395?
How much horsepower is this unit rated for (flywheel or actual WHP)?
How do you like it? What is YOUR power level.
Thanks!

I run the terminator th400 in my setup. I've talked to carl about what this trans should handle power wise. He said 1000 TQ is what it's rated for but the how it holds up also depends on the setup, weight of car, rear gear, stall, etc.
My car runs mid 10's @ 130 and is about 3800lbs with a 2.75 gear. I'm stressing the trans a bit more with my weight and gear choice but Carl said I have plenty of room for more power. He did say that some have gotten away with 1100-1200 tq on these setups but anything over 1000 tq starts to get in the range where you need upgraded shafts, etc.
My trans cost me about $2000 shipped from Rossler, speedo ouput, RMVB, trans brake and setup to 2nd gear doesn't freewheel (good for street driving). Make sure you run a good converter, i'm running a vig and really like it.

Aftermarket overdrive units are still an option, but I'm suprised at how well the 2.75 gears work, really helps the traction situation on the street. With the 3.50 gears I use to have the car was just a smoke machine and sucked on the highway.

If I has the money I would have gone with a full manual 4l80, that would be the shiznit.

If I had a long *** time to save, I would spend more on a TH400 that has a super high HP rating, but my reverse on my T56 is already pretty shot, and it is a stock T56 with a 600flywheel hp ram HD clutch. I drive my car everyday as it is my only car and can not have my T56 completely take a **** on me.
$1400ish for a TH400, RMVB and a Tbrake that handles 1000hp is hard to pass up.

I got a screamin deal on my Rossler TH400, I bought it used with a Coan 4K stall, cooler, and a Dennys Nitrous ready DS.
Its nice to know the transmission will stay in one piece.
I was running 3.73 gears at first and on street tires if you looked at the gas pedal crossways the tires would lite up. I broke the 3.73s and threw in a 2.73 gear 10 bolt I had lying around and the hiway driving improved tremendously. It will not launch near as well now though.
I am going to go with the 3.73s again with the new rear but go with bigger tires on the rear to help with the revs.
I absolutely love my Rossler TH400 and highly reccomend his products.

Vince what's the difference in weight between a T400 and a 4L80E? And a 4l80E has the same gearing as a T400, ie. the first gear is 2.48? I'm running a T400 now, I used to run an FLP 4L60E for many years.
