Im building a vega, its a all out drag car, may see some street action once a month... I have a 600hp 5.3 turbo motor right now(first turbo build) Im wanting to try this out and then go with a bigger turbo and more nitrous in the future. This car will almost always only be used on the track, whats the benefits between the th400 and powerglide?

 

lite weight car, most drag strip use, I would go with the PG. TH400 takes more power to turn. Plus you can get SFI approved aftermarket cases for the PG, internal sheilds. Most 6 second top sportsman cars use them. If it was mostly street use, I would go with the TH400.

 

The car should be light. A poerglde is definately the way to go. we deal with turbo cars making 2200 hp. Granted you are not there but a glide you can grow with.

^ awesome, looks like a glide is what im going with, thanks for the help.

 

Glide for sure

 

does this sound like a good price to you all. Built powerglide, trans brake,rebuilt 5200k stall. $1000

 

is that scotty stites tranny for sale? he knows his stuff!
for what you are doing, PG all the way.
so many benefits for your application.

 

^ did he have a vega?

 

he has had all kind of stuff. ill have to ask him.
mainly does built powerglides on the side.
i know he was doing a couple for 1000 hp and a couple aftermarket cases for 3000hp.
what you posted sounded like his for sale ad.

 

hughes sells a glide for a 1200hp for about 1200 bucks. best bang for the buck.

 

Idk, man I bought it from a guy out of cinci ohio.

 

scotty is in MS. anyway... good luck with the swap.
lets here some results!
