engine is a 9.5:1 383 with ~400-450hp in a ~5500lb truck
i install the new drum with the 34 element sprag in my TH400.. torque converotr is a B&M hole shot 2400.. see link if need did.. http://www.bmracing.com/PRODUCTS/HoleShot-2400/HoleShot-2400_2
went for a test drive..
at WOT i can hold engine in 1st and 2nd gear..you wont feel 2-3 shift unless you have a very light throttle.. also when going up hill (6% or steeper)... it will pull though 3rd and free rev almost..
there is no burnt fluid smell.. since i dont have a tranny temp guage.. i used a Infra red temp gun.. tranny case is ~160-187.. and the torque convertor is 190-200*.. i plan on dumping the fluid next couple of days.. havent seen any clutch material..
forward, direct, intemeidiate, forward band are alto brown clutches. then VB is a TCI auot/manual shift unit.
