3800-3900? Little heavy for a glide, I think.

ay 3900 t-400 Would be my choice still stronger and cheaper than 727

---

Definitely T-400 with that heavy of car, definitely.

nope unless your an ET chaser . still ok for brackets

Have and wouldn't run a 2-speed in any car that heavy....even bracket racing

I do agree on the T-400 though

Yeah, you forgot to mention that to get an equal to the Pro-flite you need a $7000 Rossler. I really don't understand why the push to convert everyone that mentions a 727 to gm transmissions.

---

Not True or even close.like apples to oranges. at 5500.00 plus a proflite is usually chosen for it's many gear ratio , less reciprocating weightcan only handle 1300 hp aso known for a short lifespan.
the 5500.00 Rossler is built to handle 2000 + pro mod hopsepower

a basic stock with good clutces and bands 400 can handle about 700 Hp amd coss arond 1200.00. step up to some better drums good to 1100 hp

The powerplant is a 426 Hemi, should be good for 650Hp, plan is to add a 2-300hp shoot of Nitrous later on.

Good question to ask, and only you can decide.

I love my 727. Since I do my own work it is very cheap and holds up to the power well. To be fair, a PG would likely be a better bracket race setup in my car (3200 lbs), but my consistancy is as good as anyone in my class.

I say to stay with the 727 and put a better valve body in it. Either the Tranzact or Griner. I expect you already have a billet front drum for safety. If you have a transbrake, then put a steel spline front planetary in the trans. I run footbrake and a stock 4 pinion aluminum body planetary.

the two can't be compared.

I hear ya Fred. I agree that with 2000hp stuff the 400 is more durable, but not in his case IMO. The point I was trying to make was that a $7000 PF has every trick part known to man in it To get the same lightweight, trick geared 400 it costs the same money, and the PF is still faster. That 400 will handle a lot more hp, especially above 1000hp, but that wasn't the discussion that was being had. Peace

Here is what a GM guy thinks the optional TH400 upgrades are. It ends up as an aftermarket trans, like a 727 at that level. I don't get it.

---

but it to will also handle way more HP than a fully modified 727 that peaks out at 1500 tops

---

Possibly so, but if the original poster needs a trans, what will the website I linked suggest? Nothing? I think not.
