What you need to do is give FLP a call and get a stage 4 tranny... <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

I say stick a 'glide in it with a brake, install a set of 4.88's out back, and go have some fun. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> I don't know if you've talked to Mike Kurtz yet or not at PMAC in Houston, but he builds one hell of a 200-4R. You might call and talk to him about it. (713)666-2616

Well....Guess someone needs to design a new trans that will handle a few gernades instead of just 1... <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

4L80e will work, if you want to spend some money. I think keeping the OD and automatic shifting is worth it.

I'm REALLY enjoying this TH-350. It feels like it'll eat all of what I'm serving up for a LONG time!

If this car ever goes back into a more streetable form it'll be getting a Gear Vendor's OD.

Wonder how a 4L80-E compares to a TH-350+Gear Vendor's OD in strength, weight, efficiency, and $$$?

I think the weight issue would hurt with the 4l80e <img src="images/icons/frown.gif" border="0"> .

4L80 will take the abuse but wasn't meant for performance use

still new and parts are few and $$$$$ big time

go with a TH400 and a GV OD...dont ever have an issue again <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

I would bet alot of the parts in the 4l80 and th400 are one in the same. When the 4l80 debuted in the 454ss it was basically just a th400 with an overdrive added.

I'm not sure on the fitment issues, I'm sure the trans is a few inches longer than a th400??
