i got a tranny guy, but sure might as well check it out, ive think im gonna end up with a 80e but we will see

 

I can't post a link to Rossler he's a non sponsor. Just google Rossler Trans. Or search him over on ls1tech.com

 

Thats what I just installed, Rossler TH400 w/transbrake. I love it. I have 3.42 rear gears and it cruises at 2500rpm's at 60. That is with a PI Vig 3200 stall. Its like having a 3 speed stick shift without the clutch.

 

2500 aint bad... hmm

 

Yeah, I've been driving mine on the street since it's my DD and the rpm's aren't bad at all. Of course I drove the T56 around in 4th (1:1) for a couple weeks to get used to it. I have no idea how fast I'm going though, because I can't figure out the speedo settings for the TH400.

 

your going to have to do all the same crap to make a 400 fit, so why not just throw a 80e in and be happy?

 

The TH400 swap isn't all that bad, and you can't get an 80E with a t-brake a RMVB for under $5000 for the tranny alone, and its really not nearly as much work as an 80E IMO. I'm just a retard and I can't figure out the VSS pulses per mile. Other than that there's no tuning, and the converters for a TH400 are more readily available and 1/2 the price. I plan on running 3.08's or 3.23's with my 31.9" tires, so for me it's not much worse if not better than some dudes running 29" tires and 3.73's-4.10's.

 

You can't get a 80 with a trans brake?

 

Rossler makes a trans brake for a 4L80E.It's on their web site.The only down side for the 4L80E is the tall 2.48 first gear,but it offers closer gear spacing with a 1.48 second 1.0 third and a .75 fourth.

 

i see no reason to step back in time!!! unless your building a 9sec ride a 60 or 80 is more then you need
