Will a th400 be a good choice for my setup? hey guys so im hoing back and forth trying to decide what route to go on transmission selection, heres the vehicle setup
92 lexus sc300 gutted 3350# wet weight no driver (i weigh 140)
cammed nitrous lq9 approximately 600 RWHP on bottle
4.26 rear end gear ratio (welded diff)
i should be able to clear a 28" tall rear tire if not ill make the neccasary "modifications"
will a th400 be a good trans for this setup i do some highway driving but no alot and i dont fly on the highway. im more of a 0-100 kinda guy i dont do highway pulls. im thinking first gear will be violent with this setup.
also what stall would everyone reccomend the cam is the Tick Polluter cam V2.

so what im thinking as of right now is 3800 stall, th400, 3.96 gear w/ a 27" tall drag radial on some 15" draglites the 27" tall tire with a 1.0.1 final ratio should put me at 6400 rpm at 130 mph which is where i think is a safe trap speed for low 10's i dont care about turning 3200 rpm on the highway at 65 doesnt bother me car isnt bieng built for fuel efficiency my only other rear gear option is 3.23 and i think thats way to low input please
I would call and speak with whoever will be building your converter. Im not so sure the rear gears will be as much of a roll as you may think with a good stall. You do not get lockup with the th400 so that also hurts highway cruising.

sorry if i sound stupid but what do you mean by as much of a roll, also i live in a real small state i dont do alot of highway cruising an i dont commute its more of a street strip kinda deal for grudge racing
