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.

I think that JC should go with the shorty antenna, not the stock one. The shorty has much less drag coefficient and should help with the top end speed.

A real "Professor" Irwin Corey. He'll either blind you with his brilliance or baffle you with his bullchit. Which is one and the same.

Along with bacon tidbits, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for from him in this thread!

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
