i have a convertor that i believe is the sister to the banks convertor in there truck and it would not work with my common rail motor in the camaro 4200 rpm. My roadster runs similiar convertor 5000 rpm 2.50 rear gear and a gearvendor and it works great. then i have a 14 in that stalls 2000 works great with a 500hp motor using an hx40 turbo but will not work with big turbo can not spool. there are a dozzen combos weight, hp,rpm what works for one will not work for all. your dmax should stick with a clutch its there and it will be scary fast looks great good luck.
Glad you commented Chad, ya I could def. see how you couldnt spool a 88mm single at 2k, it takes a nice steady fuel curve to do so with only my 71mm but I can have it full song at 2k if I choose. The great part of that big convertor is being able to get it tight but also be able to loosen it up and still have efficency that's not poss. with a smaller unit. 'If' when you built the Roadster; you could have had an option to put that 14" convertor in a Glide would'nt you have over choosing the TH400? Or, with your really large single turbo and gearing do you just have to have that deep gear to pull you out well. I believe you said you run the 2.10 now in your 400, they make a 1.96 straight cut planet set for the glide...I just assumed you picked the 400 for the same reason I did..... to house the big convertor that the Glide would'nt.
