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.

I’ve been out of the z performance world so long now I didn’t even know about other 7at options other than a level 10 built trans.

Oh, and there’s no such thing as too much power, only not enough tire.

I’ve ran 345’s on 12’s stuffed under the rear w/ -1* camber, but not planning to go as big.
I have other plans for wheel/Tire combos...
IPT is used by a few well known shops & performs very well.
Goals are to run 1/4,1/2 & eventually 1 mile events...
Basically 0-200

That's exactly what I'm aiming for. We should hit some events when you complete.

I hope NFZ comes back to IL next year. The airstrip they run on is about 40 min from my place. Would make for a great midwest meet.

Hopefully I’ll get started on project over the Christmas Holidays, only I’ll be on call that long weekend for the fire department
Giving the guy’s a break from taking call all year; as I opted out in the early spring this year

WTF...This party got started and no invite or heads up for the brotha of anotha colar! That is just fine as I have crashed better parties than this one...and kicked out of my fair share too.

Well let's see how this saga turns out, wishing you the best and that everything turns out and is accomplished as you wish. Everybody be making progress and I am still in Purgatory.
