Both KEAS and protrans have recommended it to me over a C4/9/10 as they are more capable of handling big power in heavy cars. I think someone on here has one fitted and its likely the way I will go when my manual transmission breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all seemed to think that the C4 would not last long.You can get a overdrive for the C4's and Turbo 400's there around 3K but you get four gears so great for highway runs. Both boxes are similar money but the Turbo 400 is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Chris is runnning the box, but in speaking to him, he likes the box but being only three speed he reccomended not to get the Turbo 400 with out the overdrive.

Mark Arblaster broke a number of them before he switched to a powerglide in his blown 440 Valiant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
