The car is an 82 Corvette. Compression is 10.5:1. The rear end is a 3.73. Why a 700R4? Well...it's what was in the car. Had it rebuild and built up a bit. I've never driven a TH400 but the OD is pretty nice with the 3.73 gears. Really want a Tremec 5 or 6 speed conversion but $$$. I am considering a 4l60E upgrade for the fine tuning of the shift points. Much less money than a 6 speed conversion.
Really searching for 500hp and with the nitrous cam and heads that's in it, I think I'm sitting about 450.
I sure do appreciate everyone's comments! A lot of knowledge and experience here.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
