Will the TH400 auto do a burnout?
I think mine is meant for torque and hauling like a farm truck meant for work and not for speed. Would it take a new torque converter, stall converter, or different gearing?

Re: Will the TH400 auto do a burnout?
A trans is a trans, it doesn't dictate power output of the engine.
Any transmission will do a burnout with a strong enough engine in front of it. Yes, you can change the stall by replacing the convertor.

Re: Will the TH400 auto do a burnout?
I have the 402 so I might be able to power brake it right now. I was just curious more than anything as I dont need to stress it anywhere and break anything

Most old empty V/8 pickups I've seen can do pretty good burnouts. Provided the engine is in tune. Smaller wheel diameter (like 15" rims) helps too.

Re: Will the TH400 auto do a burnout?
My 79 C10 with a 350 and mild cam and single exhaust with th400 and with 235/75r15 tires would do one wheel wonder peels everywhere. The truck would fly but any car could smoke me on take off at a red light because it could not launch. I parked it when the rear axle died which should have been the perfect time to put a locker in it.
