What are normal numbers with a ZZ502 with a TH400? I've seen numbers all over the map.

Come on CharlieCobra, everybody's waiting for pictures . I would have to agree on not to tub it. A lot of cars now a days hook on those small slicks just as good as the big tired cars, depending on the power being made of course. At least that's the way I see it.

The Th400 will eat a lot of HP but if it's built correctly it's virtually bullet proof, even behind that 502.

I just swapped from a TH350 to a TH400, and they can be built to handle most anything. I'd say the rwhp/torque figures are good, and that should get you into the low 11's, possibly high 10s hooked up and efficient the whole way.
