    I build and sell th400s with transbrakes, for 2800.00, with more good parts installed than an FTI at same price. Will hold over 1600 horse. I have a TBSS customer hitting 1.50 60 foots, with one, on a 150 shot and a set of Headflowinc ported heads. TBSS is 4600lbs. He's only making 700 on 150 shot right now.

      Brother I appreciate it. I’m actually currently emailing back and forth with both FTI and Hugh’s trying to work out an “arrangement”. I’m really leaning toward FTI though, $2600 is pretty damn good, especially since it comes with an ultrabell and their billet transbrake VB. It just sucks I don’t have a core. I’ve seriously just thought about buying one and building it myself but the truth is I’m probably gonna have to finance whatever transmission I buy and I don’t have the money or time to gather up the small parts and do it myself cause I don’t want the car sitting for long and I’m working 12+ hours a day right now. I could get a TCI trans through Poorman Motorsports at cost, but I’ve read a lot of bad reviews on them and I do y want something solid that I don’t have to fuck with all the time. I’ve been working with junk all my life and I’m trying to gradually step up my game with this car. Lol.

    i was considering the same transmission. 400 is good. i have a built 4L60 in mine. ideal transmission is a Rossler 4L80. but if you want to talk transmissions, you can get a hold of me.
    i have the Terminator X Max. and it does that without stepping to the dominator.

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  Před 2 lety

      Other than the trans control, a terminator x would be a downgrade from the HP I’m currently running brother. If I was going to spend built and transbrake 4L80 money, I’d definitely pay the extra grand for a dominator over a terminator x-max and retain the better features of the HP while also gaining dual wideband ability and a ton of extra I/Os. 👍

    if the hot rod barn is still in knoxville on Broadway , they have some trans they build that will hold up and the price wont break the bank I have tried them all, the 350's wont take a bunch of power, the 400's are heavy and costly to build, the best and strongest is the power glide and you can get one built with a turbo 350 spline so you can use your torque converter and driveshaft

      Turbo 350 will work fine built correctly , transbrake and all.
      Cheap converters will not work, you’ll fold the fins over in the converter , to much heat.
      Call Kenny at ptc and tell him what your doing, spend 1000 on a converter and you’ll be good .
      Tranny needs very good parts and you’ll be good

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  Před rokem +1

      Derek P, This converter actually works great. The issue was with the th350. More specifically the worn out pump not supplying enough pressure to the converter as I explained in the video. I would highly recommend going to a th400 or Glide once you get over the 600-700whp mark. Even built th350s don’t like to live long behind that much power in a 3400lb+ car especially. As you can see from the newer videos, this Jegs XHD converter is working great behind the new th400 in this car. No need to spend a grand in a converter until your into the 4 digit hp area unless you just like spending money.
