500-600 HP, I am thinking about going with a TH400 which I would need a new converter for so I am just trying to get a game plan together. It makes 501 now, and I am making some changes to it so it will be between five and six hundred HP.

4l60e, vigilante 3800, 2:73s out back for now(im gonna see how they do with the turbo before I go lower) cant really tell you much about it yet though I just put the converter a couple weeks ago and havent driven it only a couple times since it keeps snowing here.

Leo you going with a Glide or a TH210??? The TH-210 is a TH-400 with a 2.10 first gear...... thats the same Tranny Steve Turley's running.
Either way Rossler will take care of ya and it will take the abuse you put towards it.

Yeah there's no real lose in streetability with a Glide over TH-400....
400's 3rd gear is 1:1
and Glided 2nd gear is the same 1:1
The reason i went with a glide over a 400 was the first gear. easier on a turbo car at the launch and the fall off between 1-2 isnt that bad when you have the HP to do it..... i went with the 1.80 first gear.
Plus if it ever does break a glide is alot cheaper to fix.......
Ill agree with ya the TH210 is the cream of the crop.....

If you havn't bought a tranny yet. Get a well built TH400 if you don't need OD. Power is a nasty drug and your going to want more. If you start out with a good tranny you'll save yourself money in the long run.

Foxspy, thats a bad *** truck! I had a 1990 454SS and always dreamed of making big power with it, but decided that a truck was a bad jumping off point. Props to you for having something unique!
