What do you think?
Do you think that it was a good idea to rip out my powerglide and put in a 700r4? I know the powerglide is durable but I was told the 700r4 would make my car alot faster. Oh and the 700r4 has a B&M shift kit in it.

Re: What do you think?
Whats so bad about a lockup???
You can swap a 700R4 in there no problem. The crusing rpms would be waay lower and your top speed would shoot up. Youd get better gas mileage and it would be a little easier on your engine.

Re: What do you think?
what kit did you look at that was over $100. the one i showed you was like 70 or something. ill find the spacific one. and i thought you already took out the powerglide and stuff, and no they are not strong. the are one of the weekest. and dont anyone start saying they are strong beacause they are not. and yes i know thats what alot of drag racers use along with top fuel but they are by no means stock.

Re: What do you think?
oh. well i think its a good improvement. theres a reason im also plannign on a swap in my chevelle. i already have everything i need, except i need a few mroe dollars to get my new pump and the gaskets for that and then i can put it in, except im using a 2004R not the 700.
heres the link to bowtie overdrives lockup kit. http://www.bowtieoverdrives.com/cata...AT&CATID=OA1A2
