I have to slightly disagree on 700r4 and it being junk.
My typhoon has it from the factory. In fact it is built stronger from factory than corvette trannies are. With AWD and massive torque ~450ft lbs stock, 350 hp stock and AWD (=traction) the typhoon can rip apart trannies faster than any fairly mild corvette will. What we have discovered in getting them to live is, 1. HEAT IS A KILLER goes with any tranny... 2. ADD extra cluthes, some mods to increase pump pressure. 3. Most TRANNY shops, ok 99.999% CAN NOT build one to last on a typhoon. They all claim 500hp no problem, but after it blows up in 2 days they give up quickly. I have had GREAT luck with mine. Stock typhoon tranny (has some extras anyways), derale pan, aux, cooler, aux filter. 3 yrs 36k miles, and lots of abuse, still shifts hard. I have seen a typhoon tranny go 10's in the 1/4, and that was a factory tranny (never been rebuilt)... Did I mention HEAT..... ------------------ Jeff Scott '70 GMC Stepside, Short box '67 Camaro '63 Nova '92 GMC typhoon
