Which trans to use?
Which trans to use? I need a transmission for race only. The goal is to be in the 8's in the 1/4 mile with a race weight of 3300 to 3400. I'm tuning the engine with my 4L60E than I'm needing something that will hold around 1100+ to the rear wheels. This is a nitrous car and built for a 300 to 500 shot but mostly 300.........nothing to serious LOL. I'm thinking a th400 will be the best for this car needs. I've been thinking about a power glide but I am not convinced this is my best option. Any help would be appreciated.

check out their lvl 3 4l60e
, thats what id get if i was you.
or even lvl 2 is good for up to 700rwhp.

Not for a 1100 hp car. The level 2 nor 3 or any level of 4l60e would take that for long at all. I would suggest the TH400 or if remaining a street driver a 4L80E

There is no reason to build an overdive unit for an 8 second car that is not going to see the street. It simply has too much weight and too much rotating mass.
I help guys with this decision very frequently, we build units for these applications often. Regardless which direction you go, feel free to give me a shout here at the shop... I'd be happy to discuss some options and the pro's and con's.
