z ya Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Anyone have any experience with a 700r4 put behind something with 500hp and 500tq?? I am currently building a stout little 406 that should put these numbers down. The motor will be going into a 69 Camaro. I currently have a TPI 700 and just dont have a good feeling that this tranny will live behind this kind of torque. I plan to go to the strip maybe once per month and will be on ET street tires. Or should sell the 700r4 and build the Th350 stout and cheap. I know lots of guys running tons of power behind the 350 but not the 700.

Tim240z Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 You should be able to do a HP rebuild of the 700R4 that will handle that torque. If you plan to go 3 speed, then get a TH400. they are much stronger than the TH350. If you are still wanting a 4 speed and are worried about the power potential, get a 4L80E (4 speed version of the TH400). BowtieOverdrives has a stand alone computer and TV cable to use the 4L80E with a non-computer controlled engine. TIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 my dad/mechanic said that u would probably be better off going witha 400 turbo. he said that he would not trust the 700r4 with all of the upgrades in a car with that much horsepower and torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
