stee3 Member 194 Member For: 13y 5m 6d Posted 11/01/13 10:06 PM Share Posted 11/01/13 10:06 PM Sounds like your going to build a real animal mate, also try DLM they have some big HP cars going around. With the power you want to make id stick with a turbo 400 or a glide. If you going to drive it every day have you thought about a Turbo 400 or a Powerglide with a gear vendors overdrive unit bolted to it? I've wanted one for a while but I've just finished my motor yet again so have no money at the moment, but I'll have one this year http://www.gearvendors.com/aghr3s.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy P Member 7 Member For: 13y 2m 19d Posted 13/01/13 02:42 AM Share Posted 13/01/13 02:42 AM Thanks for the heads up on those gear vendor overdrives stee3. I think I will definately try and get one of those with whichever trans I go with mate, they look as though they would definately take alot more pressure off the trans itself and maybe even take a little stress off the motor also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes 955rwhp and ive never actually broken a gearbox. Have had issues with tailshafts/converters etc etc, but the box has withheld quite abit. I would either go T400 or C4 etc. Dont really like powerglides for the street. A mate has a powerglide and on the street, sometimes your going 2 fast for 1st gear, but 2 slow for 2nd gear if you want to give it a hit. Speak to some gearbox shops and see what they recommend.

Bit far from tamworth but I dont think there is really anywhere near here to do any of the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stee3 Member 194 Member For: 13y 5m 6d Posted 14/01/13 01:00 AM Share Posted 14/01/13 01:00 AM Try ALS raceglides in NSW or Protrans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy P Member 7 Member For: 13y 2m 19d Posted 15/01/13 09:04 AM Share Posted 15/01/13 09:04 AM Hey with the gear vendors overdrive. If I was to buy it before I had the trans fitted, do u reckon it would be the best time to also get it fitted when trans is being done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stee3 Member 194 Member For: 13y 5m 6d Posted 15/01/13 09:16 AM Share Posted 15/01/13 09:16 AM Organise your auto first, then when you have decided what auto your getting order the right overdrive unit to suit the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
