th400 dd questions
th400 dd questions looking in to swapping to a th400. i see a lot of info on install. but not dd how would it be to dd a th400. looking in to the hurst quarter stick shifter also cuz i will going rmvb at the end. the car will end up being a weekend street/strip car, but will have to daily drive the car for a while before that. so what would i expect. i have 323 gears which i wont be changing till i park the car for weekend use. i will be running a 28 tall tire. how would my high way driving fuel economy be with this setup. i don't drive high way much maybe 2 times a week 30 to 45 min trips to beach or bar. any input would be appreciated

3.23's with 28's wouldn't be too bad for limited driving but it will get old on long drives.
My recommendation would be a 4L80E
Strength of a TH400 with overdrive, and price wise with transbrake, etc, it's not much more.
Why do you need/want a RVMB for a street/strip car?

You could get a feel for it by leaving your car in 3rd (if its an a4) cause you're high gear with the TH400 is the same 1:1 ratio as your current 3rd gear, so if you can stand that, you can stand the th400. I want to swap my m6 for one in the future so sometimes I'll leave mine in 4th to see if it would drive me crazy or not.

price of the 4l80 just the unit is expensive plus rebuild and all the goodies way to much for my budget. i have a basically fully built 4l60 it has ss3600 stall billet servo pistons planetary borg warner clutches and monster sun shell. its supposed to hold some good power but i know its not going to hold a 200 out the gate and 100 down the line

i have a th400 with a 28inch tall tire and 3.73 with 3600 nitrous stall. its not to bad to me and i do dd mines when the weather is good and i have been on a couple of hr one way trips so guess it really depends on what ur tolerance is
undecided both trannys should be the same dd wise tho right ?

Ok thanks ill be going with the th350 and if at the long run it don't hold will have to change over. for now I'm full bolt on with 150shot it should hold up good. I'm getting a pretty good deal on one locally for 200 and the rebuild with shift kit is bout 130. all ill be missing would be the converter plus the modding in my x member.
im on the mission after my uncle that's a tranny tech to build it. getting the overhaul and shift kit today or tomorrow.
i know ill be fine for now, but eventually ill be putting in a 370ci with about 350 hit so that's were I'm iffy about it. 200 out the gate 150 up top
