Building a TH400.. What's needed?
 
Motor made 610/620 crank, and down the line may be sprayed with a 150 shot. Now onto the tranny..

Currently it is a "stock" TH400 with a 2500 converter in it. What parts should be upgraded? I've been told I need to put in a stronger sprag, a bigger convertor would gain a lot, and that it'd be awesome to add a T-Brake and RMVB

Any input? And if you know, how much are these things and would I be able to install them never seeing the inside of an automatic transmission before.

Thanks fellas, you guys always have good input.

Hit up Greg at FTI. I love my TH400 and converter he built for me.

How expensive was it? The car is a street/strip car and I drive it 3-4 times a week currently

One more question. Trans currently has a Holeshot converter.. about 1/4 the price of a good one.. How do I know if it's slipping too much or how much it's holding me back?

All the stock hard parts should be good for that power. Just takes the right build.
