Built 4l65e vs boost
Yea.....Thats would not be a fun drive on a road trip. TH400 would be fine if its an around town car or race car. I'd rather keep my true street car (that can daily if I want....I'm in it today as a matter of fact) with my shitty overdrive and still be a nice driving car than to RUIN my car by putting a non electronic 3 speed. Just my opinion.

I don't think we have enough rulers to maintain supply for this D**K measuring contest.
Each trans has its pros and cons.
There are pros and cons to torque management.
Jesus let's move on to a little more productive conversation.

Or how about you exit? I'm having fun 😎. There's an unsubscribe button, it's pretty cool, you should press it sometimes.... starting now.
I guess my car is an "around town car", or maybe i have a "race car". But i drive my car to and from the track, be it summer or winter, and that's with a 9.5 converter....no overheating btw. Oh, and the car cruises horribly, 2500 around 70mph....HORRIBLE . Almost forgot, the 1/4 track (beech bend), is a solid 2hr drive from my house.
. Almost forgot, the 1/4 track (beech bend), is a solid 2hr drive from my house.high five btw. I still wouldn’t put a th400 in something I wanna drive. I like being able to put it in drive and not have to worry about shifting it and being able to program how I want it to shift, when to shift and how firm. But hey, you like your th400, cool. No worries, it’s just not my style. I like to have a quiet, comfortable, fast car with modern **** and still get good gas mileage. That’s just what I like. Not knocking your car, that’s what you like...so cool. Different strokes for different folks. I was seriously thinking about putting a 6 speed auto in mine. But I think I’ll pass on it for now. Remembering how quiet my 2017 Silverado was. 8 speed is even worse.

I mean...the forum is generally reserved for sharing good info or helping people.
This has turned from good info...to a couple guys being incredibly ignorant.
We all know the th400 is a stout trans. We all know how you feel about torque management. Quit spreading bad info and there won't be many issues lol
If you're so closed off to the fact that a 3 speed non computer controlled vs a computer controlled 4 speed with OD will have different pros and cons for each of them...and you can't accept that not everybody does things the same way you want to...this isn't going to get anywhere.
p.s. not sure who/what was stumped...I'm just now stumped on who was stumped lol
If it is your 700r4 with turbo 350 comment...you thought you were being clever...except LOTS of guys have used MSD control boxes for ignition retard in a certain rpm range. So...determine the rpm of your shift, and retard the timing during that rpm point...archaic torque management.
It's the same way guys used to do traction control too...they would put a soft timing ramp in to help get down track on a less than ideal surface that was tough to 60' down. Hell...they would do it time based sometimes to help get over a "hump" in the track or some other obstacle.
p.s.s. mine's the smallest, that's why I make up for it with lifted pickups and muscle shirts

Yes, it cruises nicely. Which is one of the reasons why its good to spend good money on the converter and not cheap out. PTC seems to do pretty well at getting their converters to match what the customer has under the hood.
I spent almost a grand on mine. Hopefully that’s not cheaping out. I don’t ever skimp on convertor.
Would you daily your car? if you live an hour from work? (thats my commute....and sitting in alot of traffic AND about 10 miles of interstate travel) Do you still have ac? What kind of gas mileage do you get? dont lie lol

Gas mileage sucks, just like it did with the T56 (being on E85 doesn't help). I wouldn't daily it, because there's absolutely no comparison to my other car which is a '17 maxima. The Maxima is lightyears beyond the SS in every which way, other than power. The SS has ice cold AC, good heat, a mean stereo and immaculate interior. But as streetable as it is, I get sick of driving it if I "daily" it for a week or so, sometimes not even that long. And that has nothing to do with the th400. If I drive on the freeway without activating the secondary pump at all, it might do 15-17 mpg, like I said, it sucks.
I drive my powerglide car around on weekends. I have a work truck so dont have to drive it to work. Love it . PTC 9.5 have 2 trans coolers on it. Doesnt get over 170* in stop and go traffic.

Maybe if you have a death wish. I've been caught before on these ET street R's, the stress probably knocked 10 years off of my life span. The SLIGHTEST throttle input, and it's like the car is on a sheet of ice.
