Here's a perfectly street legal powerglide 7 sec car (3500#'s). Very mild mannered.

Haha you think a TH400 can take that much power?

That is a TH210-XHD, big difference!

a 4L80E should only be around ~$1K higher to install than a th400 (converter included). A full billet th400 should only be around $2K.

I'm subcribing to the theory that you think you need a glide, get a th400 that is a 1+2 leaver (1st for good hooking tracks, 2nd for poorly prepped tracks). with a th400 you can leave with less boost, so it should be easier to stage.

a TH210 is nothing special....I'd rather have an Extreme Automatics spragless transmission.

Well obviously the TH210 is doing something special, fastest 10.5 car in the world. I believe it was also the tranny chosen by many of the drag week winners.

Just a fancy name for a TH400 with a 2.10 gearset, billet shafts, aluminum drum,and a 36 element sprag (that can still break). At that power level, I'd go spragless, no question. Also lots of people don't like Carl (I'm not necessarily one of them, never dealt with him).

I don't like the Transgo -3 Kit. Jake's Performance has his own setup for full manual now. His Transbrake works awesome too

Its adding up to just about 4grand to be all setup, i was thinkin maybe 3grand tops lol
Call FTI. They built my TH400 with 300M input shaft and converter for around $2300-$2500.
