it was guaranteed to hold 1000hp and i think im making right at 1000hp now (motor wise)..the tranny is doing great and the car is running low 9s footbraking...im planning to make another 200hp soon, but i dont want to go with a glide yet(although i have one ready to go)

what do you guys think??? DO you think a fully built th350 can hold around 1200hp and launch a 2800lbs car (on the TB ) reliably??? im only aiming for 1.4x 60', so it wont be that violent on the tranny...

btw.the hp is thru the crank...thus tranny, not to the wheels

 

I don't know, but that **** will be cool to watch either way

 

i can gaurantee your not gonna pick up THAT much in return for how much **** your gonna break. have run trans-break and turned back to foot break for the $$$$. pain in the *** for me but you have a turbo so you need as much spool as you can get. But i run the th350 and love it but the glide would be your best best. not as tall of a gear but is lighter and handle more ****!

 

oh yeah trans break was a 1.47 and foot break is a 1.50 consistant so it was worth .03 for all the crap i broke.

 

Curious about your motor....

 

th350 has been proven reliable at way over 1200rwhp and with the car being as light as your's it should defintaly be fine.

 

About the only thing you can guarantee is that there is no guarantee. lol

 

Wow, Casey up an at em' early today!

 

As long as you don't split the case it should work fine.

 

2JZ

 

If your putting it behind an import motor- I dont think you will have to worry. I doubt your motor will make enough torque to destroy a TH350..

 

Yeah that TH350 SHOULD hold up, but for how long, no one knows

 

well i guess i will have to find out..i dont like breaking **** at the track..i like to have everything well built before i get to the track..but sometimes you got to break **** to go faster...

 

Remember, you play you pay

 

I once heard an older fella say "I'f you ain't breakin, you ain't racin". How true that is.

 

yeah i dont want to break it before our race....and i dont think ill have enough time to dial in the powerglide...


what are you guys using for trannies if you dont mind me asking???

 

The powerband will dictate weather you need a 3 speed or a 2 speed. If you've got a really broad powerband a powerglide will work just fine but if it's peaky, which I'd have to imagine a small engine with a big turbo would be, a Th-350 or Th-400 would be a better choice.

How much does your car weigh Duy?

 

Rossler makes killer transmissions. I would put a glide in your car being that it only wieghs 2800lbs. If you get a rossler glide, you will be able to race all season long with out hurting it and just send it back to him at the end of the year to freshen it up. Let me know and I can call Carl for you.

 

didnt you use a th350 for awhile??
yeah can you talk to him for me..i have a powerglide just sitting there..its very similar to Garrett at Oddball turbo..his tranny held up to some 8.20 passes in his Ranger..

does he (Carl) build his own or can he use mine and build on top of that??

 

If I had an engine making that much power I would be able to tell you!
