You should build it and tell us, then give the car to me because after you find out how many cars you can beat in it there wont be much use for it anymore.

Sounds like a low 10 high 9 second car easily!

the 6 speed will slow that car down dramatically with a good built auto th400 you would gain alot of time in a car with that much power
but yes thats a very fast car if set up properly and i mean scarry fast low 9's isnt an out of reach goal with that setup maybe even quicker

Depends on what you want from it, if you wnat a bad *** fun street car you can roll race, a six speed isnt a bad choice for a turbo car. If your looking to drag race it, then yea, a Th400 may be whats for you.

I hope you now how to work on cars cause with that setup you are going to break crap if you beat on it. Be careful turning up the boost also unless you are running race gas.
