Question sick of my T-56, looking for input on auto setup

I've blown my T-56 for the last time. this was my fourth and I only have 52k miles on my car. I'm looking for a STRIP/street setup, leaning heavily towards strip. no long distance driving, just cruising around some on the street.

I have a mosher 12-bolt with 4.10's and 28" slicks and would like to keep them. Can any of you give me some good advice on a setup.. PLEASE???

Turbo 400, 350??? Transbrake?? converter size???

I'm pushing 473rwhp and 462rwtq right now and am shooting for around 10.80's NA. 9.9x on juice.

I really like the idea of having a wrachet shifting auto though


TIA!!!

I was also considering a pro-shifted T-56 or jerico... not a lot of info on jerico swaps though

too many guys have broke their th-350. for the money it is well worth the th-400. esp if you want to launch of a break (where the fun is at!). th-400 is more street friendly than a proshifted t56 by a wide margin. just like we talked before. i know you will be happy with either choice after all the trouble you have had with your tranny now.

1. It's MOSER not Mosher.

2. I'd just get a T400, the T350 needs upgrades to be as good.

3. I went to T400 and have a B&M Pro Ratchet.

yah, I'd agree that T400 sounds like the best choice for you. A friend of mine has a ratcheting shifter in his car, it's pretty cool.
