Lost 3-4 clutch pack...exploring options...

im DBW and Moze is DBC....im thinking i will just go manual valve body and run a 3400 stall so that way im almost instant boost....may even do a t-brake

YES!! on the transbrake... if that's the route I go mine will have one.

TH400 TB is reasonably priced. 80e is highway robbery for a tbrake.

i want to keep the DBW and i have seen a shifter come through the console on a SS truck and it looked really clean....im really leaning that way and the guy also said it will light up the right gear selector on the dash and the build cost also is way cheaper...its getting better and better...only thing im still questioning is the speedo...i know they make a conversion for the th350 but what about the 400??

[GasGuzzler]

Remember the 400 only has a 2.48 1st gear too so you'll want at least 3.55-3.73 with a heavy truck and a big stall. You really don't wanna be in the "loose" RPM range of the converter at 45 MPH.

dont want that kind of gearing with boost...i want it to stay in there as long as possible...small turbos meth and spray will make up for the loss in the bottom end if i need it

OK....

1st in a 400 feels closer to 2nd in a 60/65/70.

So with a 3.55 gear what mph would the 1-2 shift be at? 2-3 shift? sorry, I'm lazy.

Depends on tire height.

[mean05]

truck will have a 31'' for DD and they make a 29.5 x 11 tire that i will run for the track...i wanna keep a lighter gear for the freeway...most of the people i run with like rol racing

Depends on tire height.

What else you need. 30" tire. 10.5 wide in case you needed that to figure it up tooJ/K
