    A turbo 400 is WAAAAAAY overkill for a 331.
    Sure it will if he never launches it on the brake.

    Why don't you put an 8.8 back in your car Bill?

    It is lighter and takes less power to turn!

    If you like to drive your car get a TH-400. If you like to work on your car get a C-4.

    What trap speed are you planning on having?

    You don't need as much gear with an auto.

    Why must you insist on being so trying?
    How many seasons of following a racing circuit and also making other races between the circuit races have you done?
    I had a MityMite2 C-4 that was built by Dynamic Transmissions that I ran for 2 1/2 seasons and NEVER took it down. EVERY single trip down the track was off the transbrake. I drove it on the street all the time to car meets and races in Mexico. ANd that was on a heavy ass car. He has a FOX!

    I speak from DIRECT EXPERIENCE!!!!!!
    Not my friends
    Not from the internet.

    LOL you spend more time on the internet than anyone I know.

    I gave 331 the pros and cons of both trannys end of story. I have real experience with a TH-400.

    Seems like you are too uptight.
    Time to book your trip on

    for some much needed R&R for Wild Bill.

    Well it depends on your gears. I have a TH-400 with 3.73's and 28" drag radials and it isn't bad at all at 55-60.
