Small tyre, auto, single cam....NEXT PLEASE You've mentioned in 2 posts the car runs a small tyre..... Since when is a 29.5X11.5 considered small? Regardless its a great achievement! Dont take this post as a stab, its just a simple question...

29x10.5 is the tyre size, pretty small when youre making in excess of 4 figures at those tincy tiny treads.

Rob campisi has gone 6.21 @ 237mph with a 2 speed power glide here with plenty more to come.

Impressive video!! Hope it does a 7 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Another car proving that a TH400 does work behind an RB30, awesome! What about Daniel Camilleri's VL from Victoria, doesn't that run 7s with an auto?

Yeah but its a full chassis car with some serious rubber underneath it. This is essentially a street car chassis with nothing more than minitubs and no chassis mod's. This WILL run 7's next time out.

People laughed at me when I told them a 3 speed would do better if not outperform a 2 speed in a VL but I don't hear those people now.The street Supras are running 7.6's in the States with a TH400, by no means a crap or unreliable box if built properly.

Yeh I have been told TH400s are a very strong box, but lots of people say they suck too much power or are too heavy behind an RB30.

love the launch on on it

I understand that they may be too heavy and they may suck power but the times speak for themselves thus far and i'm sure we will see the times come down some more in the near future. With all things being equal, they have their disadvantages but certainly not without their advantages.

Quickest automatic turbo cars on earth run a box based on a TH400.

the car only lost in the vicinity of only 50rwhp from gforce to TH400....nothing an extra 2 or 3 psi wont help

TH400's are an excellent Drag Box. Poor mans Lenco. If you have the power and the tyre then in theory they should beat a Glide down the 1/4. Throw the numbers into a Drag Racer program Standard Gear sets hold 1500hp The problems start when you want to use them primarily on the street. No engine braking requires carefull street driving so you don't damage sprags. The quick US cars run a 2 speed version of the TH400 using approx 1.45:1 start ratio. I like them but still have concerns when used primarily on the street. Street miles are hard on parts

Lots of light weight parts go into theses t400's , sucking too much power is an old school myth Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I was told the one from Titan running the 7.6 was running a TH400, I could be wrong though.
