TH400
Re: TH400 What are you guys using for a torque arm mount? I currently have the BMR "square" SFCs, and I know that their Xtreme duty torque arm will mount directly to the SFCs, but are there any other options? Also, does anyone know if Yank will sell any of the kit components seperately? Thanks, and TTT, Shawn <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Re: TH400 I LOVE my Yank 4L70 tranny and TP4400 converter. Shifts are firm at WOT and the converter takes the hit of part throttle shifts. I have a manual valvebody in mine and I love it.
Dropped a full second in the 1/4 too with only half throttle in first (Traction issues) <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
Can't wait to get traction in the spring, 200 pounds out of the car and another 15RWHP or so <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Re: TH400 I am happy with my TH350 from Yank, but if I had it to do over again, I'd prolly go with an Art Carr 700R4. George Baxter uses one in his blown 25th Ann Camaro and runs low 9's. If you want, I will scan the info from their catalog for you when I go home (not much info on their web site).
Re: TH400 Well...I just got an Art Carr catalog and it is chocked full of pic's of George's car. There are several references to George using their 700R4 and running blah, blah, blah....
Gues the catalog needs revision. Sorry for the misinfo! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

Re: TH400 I believe George had the 700R4 in his car until he got into the high 9s range.. I think. At one point it started breaking all the time on him so he switched over to the 400. Don't remember if was when he was low 11s to high 10s, or if it was when he was low 10s high 9s.... I have an Art Carr 700R4 in my Monte and I like it.

i dont know where you got your info from but George has been using a TH400 with a gear vendors o/d unit for a while and just recently he is just using the TH400 with a brake and ditched the gear vendors because of weight issue

Re: TH400 Reckless Jimmy's right!
I talked to George about it at the track about 5 weeks ago, and he said that the 700R4's were blowing left and right.
The TH400 is the strongest one I have seen yet!
Ryan my cheetah shifter pics are gonna be up tonight I think.

Re: TH400 So what is needed to actually bolt the Th-400 to the block? On one of the above post, someone metions that you can leave out the adapter? What flexplate is everyone using, and are any spacers/adapters needed there? Thanks!

be happy they didn't put them in our cars. There aren't a whole lot of aftermarket parts available for them and they weigh a freaking ton and are not optimized for drag racing. i **** you not when i say the stock converter in those things weigh close to 80lbs.
If you want the ultimate tranny combo and have the money to spend on it, go with a TH400 and a gear vendors o/d unit. expensive, but you now have a 6 speed auto that'll probably never break

Re: TH400 The YANK kit for the TH350 and TH400 comes with an adapter plate. You use the stock flexplate and a 6-bolt converter rather than 3-bolt (requires some drilling through the flexplate).
