Its nice to see a todays input to present standards of a auto trans.
Im just a silly old bugger of yesterday that fired a few under 10 second missiles down the 400m straight line, when cubic inch meant everything, (there is still no substitute for cubic inches)
I will agree 100% lockup of a converter is not always the case, and why stage multistage clutches are used by the big boys (top fuel) in straight line racing.
Now to put the cat amongst the pigeons, the turbo 400 trans is the most bullet proof trans on an factory produced trans money can buy................. sorry Ford lovers ......... its a given fact Chevy rule the mantle on this one.
But i will quote the F....ord (Hard to say) 9 inch diff is as bullet proof to match the power requirement of the 400 trans.
Its always a hard point to admit you added a F...o...r...d, part to a 99% Chevy race car.
