a built a350e or A343E should be fine at that level.

Go with the A340, boostlogic makes a highly regarded build. THe TH400 only has 3 speeds and you will have to do some mods to make it fit up, which will add cost

I was reading about the Boostlogic holding around 700hp, not sure about that.
Since the Th400 only has 3 speeds and it's some what a "drag tranny" is it suitable for daily driving and what not.
Whats the difference of the
A340
A350E
A343E
?

if you have the money and wanna stay auto while daily driving,
sound performance is selling the 4L80e tranny thats basically a th400 with overdrive. here's the link from supraforums

for your goals, a rebuild a way cheaper than the hoops to have to jump through to get the TH400 in there. The TH400 is a beast; but, a built Toyota A tranny is certainly capable of 550wtq

dang that kit is very costly
What are the significance changes in a built auto?
As of rebuilding a stock tranny would it be better to rebuild a Sc3 or supra tranny?

You guys don't know what you're talking about. One way or another a built Toyota transmission will go. It's like a time bomb. Boostlogic or not.

Go with TH400 or it's modern 4 speed version. Sound Performance is selling a new transmission kit. It's little pricey but works awesome. It's TH400's modern version. It's 100% automatic 4 speed and is controlled by AEM EMS.

+2 im with him, toyo trannys are no good. get a th400 or a 4l80e and be done with it.
im currently considering ditching my 6 speed for a th400 for drag racing.

As benssc mentioned it's 4L80E (4 speed read wheel drive 80 series electronic). It has 4 speeds, it's strong, and automatically switches gears. I'm not sure what the exact price is but I am sure it will be little out there.

As of purchasing a Chevy transmission, should i be cautious about mileage on the transmission and year/usage? Also what would be a better choice, a rebuilt one or stock.
I found a rebuilt 4l80e for $700 / TH400 Turbo-HydramaticTransmission for $140, does that sound realistic? Do they really go that cheap.


-Thank you very much, sorry for asking so many questions.

Duckness

oviously no one read my post =/

YouLose

I read your post.
And im starting to save up, hahaha, Just kidding.
BUT ! the one question that roams my mind is it worth to swap in a
4L80E it 7,500 + installation 1,500. I mind as well just buy a chevy or just get a Th400 even though it only has 3 speeds and the 4L80E has 4 and a few othere stuff here and there, i mean all this for one little NA-T engine.
