    Which Chevrolet Transmission to use?

    The Tubo400 is the strongest of the three, but I really want fourth gear if I have that option and the 700r give me that option. I found one guaranteed to hold 650crank horsepower with a 3200stall. Now I'm wondering how I would manually shift it into fourth when our cars only have low1, low2 and...

    Which Chevrolet Transmission to use?

    Does anyone know anything about the 700R4 tranny? I talked with Shawn Cassidy and he said his adapter plate will work with this transmission as well as the turbo350. I would rather have a four speed than a three speed though if it will help with highway rpms. I've still got to see what ratio...

    Thanks for the info Ken, and you're right, they're both three speeds. I guess I'm going with the 350 since the 400 weighs more and is a little bit of overkill. Shawn at Best Transmissions is a great guy to talk with and very very knowledgeable. He's practically given me a step by step of what to...

    All I did was launch it hard one time. I never get on my car in first gear because of tire spinnage, but I did at the track with my drag radials on and it didn't like it. I've launched it hard before and all that ever happened was the tires slipping. Last night the transmission decided to take a...

    Stinger > Maft-Pro?

    I dont' know anything at all about the MAFTpro, but I do have a stinger and it gets easier and easier to tune the more I play with it. There are a few members on here that have helped me out and the guy that tunes my car on the dyno loves it. He said he wished everyone used the Stinger. It's...

    I didn't take pictures of the carnage. It's only a short piece of cast metal. At least it looks like it's cast. I broke it at the race track last night.

    I don't know if I posted this or not, but the transmission is broke. It's not just that the clutch was stuck to the flywheel. A piece of the transmission that goes around the input shaft is broke off about two and a half inches in length. I had a spare, but I gave it to Kwnate to use.

    Come on Ken, don't call him a rockstar..............I've got to work with him..........:biglaugh: Congrats Keylan. If I'd known it was running, I'd came over and tore the transmission up for you........:evil2:

    Thanks Mark, but it's already out. I've got to talk to Sean tomorrow about the gearing for the th350 because I don't want to be doing 4000rpm everywhere I go. I don't have my 373 gears anymore so I'll have to find a good rearend. I don't think my 3.91's will like the highway runs too much...

    stock z06 vs. T88 MKIV

    That corvette does look good though, but you can't deny the sexiness of that MKIV's turbo.........:bowdown: If it was a roadcourse, I think the supra would have a hard time with the vette. I honestly don't think it could keep up with him, but I may be wrong.

    Popped a Cherry lol

    I think those are a little slower than stock, but it was your first trip out. I can't believe how awful his 60' times were, and that's not a bad 1/8 mile for a mustang if it wasn't built. Keep practicing and keep upgrading your car. Good luck. I went last night as well, and broke my transmission.

    My daughter took one of Vonda's car but I erased it. She ran a 10.2 and it was the cars fault and not hers so I deleted it. We'll get 'em next time though. Yeah, it's amazing how calm I remain in these situations. I guess it's only money, and I'm going to work tomorrow to make more. I've...

    Which Supramania members have helped you the most?

    I have a few new names to add to mine.......and the list just keeps on growing. Upgradedsupra, hotsceneccey(that's got to be wrong, but you all know who he is) Sean Cassidy, and that's it for now. I'll be thanking others later as I do my chevrolet automatic swap.

    The last five seconds is pretty cool, but the rest is good too if you love supras eating up corvettes. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Corvette-Z06-Vs-Toyota_168688.htm

    I'm not really that pissed right now. It's more like disappointing. I babied the clutch for over five hundred miles with no boost and this is the first time I've gotten on it in first gear since I've had the clutch, and this is how it repays me. I"ve heard of other people welding their clutch to...
