C-4 VS TH400?

Is a beefed C-4 a match for a 460+ CID Stroker or is the GM TH400 the best option

Anyone use the GM TH400

How much does the car weigh?
How much money you got? Go ahead and add $600 on top of any Th400 pricing you get. (JW bell $325 Flex plate $300)
How fast you trying to go? (C6 might be a better option)

You are kinda comparing a c4/c6 and Th350/Th400 c4 and th400 are in two different classes. If it's a light car like a mustang you also have the P/G as an option.

My nephew has a 66 galaxie very heavy 3600 no driver smoked a pg he talked to almost
everyone in the race tranny biz and all told him to run a 400 with he is in about 700 runs
he broke one thing in it.

I think after talking a few guys on this site I will most likely use a E4OD over the GM TH400.

The GM TH400 tranny is nothin' ta sneeze at but none the less it still has a GM part number.

the Only Problem when you use a T400 is some after making a run you shift it into N it will lay over the sprag.....

I've been running PG's in my race car for the last 5 years and have had no issues.

thats like saying run a chevy motor , the car dont know the difference

why not a C6?

How about Ford Racings new C-2 two speed transmission as used in the factory Cobra Jet race cars! Joel's on Joy in Detroit builds the trannys for Ford Racing. They are pricey, but they are supposed to be capable of use with up to 1800 hp (???????) ! And you won't have to swallow your pride by running a GM trans! There was a picture of it in the May 2010 Race Pages, It seems to look alot like a Powerglide to me . You don't think Ford would put a Powerglide in their top line Cobra Jet race car do you? I guess the good side for the guys running Poweglides already, is that if asked they can now say they don't run a Glide they have a Ford C-2!!!

Untill today never heard of it.

Anymore info on this one.

Fox it you have to have a 3 speed just rollerize a c-6 and go it will be way stronger than a t400 and get a Frank Merkl brake and go....

Its not a Powerglide its a Ford Racing C-2! Like I said, you don't have to run a Glide you can run a Ford C-2. It must be just a coincidence that it looks like a Glide. The guy that built my C-6 is the one that's supplying the trannys to Ford Racing. Here is the link from yellowbullet:

They seem to think its an all new transmission, but to me it looks like a Glide with a diferent name and a Ford part#!
