Would a sponsorship from the “Baconaitor” be considered technical

If he is doing "sponsorship". He can sponsor my build. Please send money. LOTS of it.

Like how many slices of bacon you can fit on top of the engine block and the speed you need to reach to cook them? Awesome! I am interested as well

That's blasphemy! Bacon is one of the most serious subject matters there is

Zoren would just try to gerbil the entire spl catalog

And... here - we - go!

Don't do a 4L80. Talk to Phunk/Charles about getting the ZF transmission.

JC talks to Seb all the time, he should talk to him.

This was my first thought regarding a trans upgrade from the 7at, but I’m curious about the potential of the new forthcoming 9at in the 400z and backwards compatibility if it doesn’t suck.

JC seems to really want to keep it as Nissan as possible.

Yeah & with the potential power output; don’t think I’m gonna need a lotta gears in trans

Plan is to go with a known trans. that can spin the R’s & handle the power

Errthing points at a built TH400/4L80E, manual valve bodies...the newer GM trannies can’t spin up & the cars weight/power level isn’t suitable for a Glide

Hopefully the 7 will live for a while before that decision will come

I’m gonna make a suggestion, buy once, cry once. If you are very sure you need a built TH400 to reliably hold and put that power down, (I’m assuming 1/4 mile drag racing), then don’t d1ck around spending trans money twice building a 7at that’ll fail anyway, sh1t, just give me that $$ instead, it’ll be put to better use. Level 10 trans upgrades aren’t cheap and if that’s not gonna cut it, then why bother, you can sell your 7at and recoup some cost... or keep it in case you go back to stock

Okay, maybe not that last one.
