Did a search and didn't find anything. Anyone using one? With my current three speed TH400 I am running our of gear on the top side, ie third gear. I have noticed that a lot of the 275 guys run two speed TH400s. I think a 1.58 ish first would help my twin turbos spool, but I am wondering what to look for to get a better topside. I am a complete novice at this.
Car is around 3700 lbs makes around 1250/1370 to the wheels with twin 62mm turbos on top of a 408 LQ9 built motor. Power goes through a FTi stage 5 TH400 and to the wheels through a ford nine inch with 3.56 gears and a strange S-Trac.
I have a couple of TH400 cores which is why I was thinking about building one as a two speed. I suppose the other option is a powerglide?
Looked closely at the gear vendor unit. It adds weight and takes up space. I think I would just look at a 4L80E before I would do that. It's taken about 2-3 attempts to work out the stall on what we have. It appears changeing the rear gear is going to be the best option.
Give me a call. We've supplied converters and electronics for dozens of cars with combinations similar to yours. It's all turn-key. You need a 4L80E. As long as you have specs, we'll nail the converter specs on the first try and you'll be blown away at how well it works.
