i'm looking to make 600 but the top end setup i'm buying from a friend makes 690 on all motor, i would like to be able to put a 200 shot or less on it.

 

My comment on car weight and use of the t-400 has nothing to do with strength of the trans.

The lower first gear of the t-400 and the 3 speeds will help the car accelerate better in my opinion.

The company I work builds glides for the area of 3,000 hp , they will work well with a big motor.

if you want a glide , get one built. Maybe a 1.80 gear set would work well for your application.

Is theis 900 hp motor ALL motor or is there NOS involved?

 

what can the stock input shaft and main shaft handle on a th400? parts are cheaper for a powerglide than a th 400. i hear everyone talking about how good a powerglide is and all the racers run one. i need it to handle 900hp.

 

i'm building a street strip car, its a 72 elcamino it has a th400 in it, is was put in car came from factory with a th350. the trans was rebuilt or built a few years back. i bought the car from a friend. we are unsure whats in the transmission. the guy who built it said their was kevlar bands. i'm not sure if i want to rebuild the th400 or put in a powerglide. i want to use a transbrake, and i need it to hold at least 900hp. i also want to drive it on the street and ive heard the powerglide isnt very street able. im guna use a 3600 rpm stall.

with the weight of the car , I would use the t-400.

kevlar bands means nothing... the t-400 uses clutch packs to transfer power.
