I still think that is a poor choice for a tranny. If it were a max effort race only car and you were using a transbrake then maybe but for this all I see you getting out of it is a poor first gear and greater parasitic losses.

I tend to agree with him. swapping to a 400 is a bad idea unless this is a race only application. I build 4l60's and they can be made to hold power, but it aint cheap. And neither is swapping to a 400, plus you lose power, and OD. Also if you build a max effort head/cam car and try to drive 2.73's its gonna be a slug. You're going to need a nice stall and at least 3.42's minimum. Since its not a daily driver, I would suggest 3.73's MINIMUM. Depending on cam choices, the stall will vary, but dont go lower than 3k rpm and plan on spending $800 if yer gonna stick with the 4l60e for a GOOD quality converter. T.C.'s make or break a car.

Gear and stall will be down once ive got the top end done....

Im going with a 3.73 in the rear...

bookshelf is a selling a T350 on chitown, new DRC without a transbrake for $550, that might be a good start. You should talk to Speed Inc. about Jay Behari's old combo, that combo ran great.
