3500-4000 lbs 800hp BBF to much for a glide

3500-4000 lbs 800hp (600n/a 200shot gas) BBF to much for a glide

building one myself any suggestions on componets... ie cores, cases, bellhousings, shafts etc.

I hope not, just built one got about 30 passes everything good so far. Mine is w/driver 3770lbs not 800hp about 640 but still put all good stuff in it + aftermarket case.

give me a low down on your set up (parts list) if you could

Good case, JW , Reid etc, 1.80 st cut with the good output shaft, ringless input, rear pump half with a pinned and bolted stator tube , dual ring servo piston and matching spring, kevlar band (std width) 7-8 Alto reds in the high drum, teflon rings throughout, Good pro brake vb, deep pan etc you'll be in good shape.............sure theres a part or two I left out, carefull assy.......smooth ring sealing areas etc.

Gooooood converter, big cooler, syn fluid................this will live no problem in your combo.

good info ...thanks bro

We ran a 3906# with driver 1100hp car N/A all season with an aftermarket case and internals like Fabio said. Tore it down after the end of the season and it was burning the clutches up, only problems we had. Went ahead and switched to a 10 clutch drum while it was apart.

I have a 5 high drum clutches and I think they are slipping how can you tell? mid track #'s? I will tear it down for inspection but I was just wondering what the tell tell signs where?

Blake just has 5 in that monster of his.

If it is slipping the fluid will get smelly-discolored............a lot of slip it'll lose high gear.
