No over drive. The unknown factor is what don't know what gearing is in the TH400
There were a couple different gear ratio's available for first, but it will be 1:1 in 3rd.

no not yet. I dont wana break anything before I move.
Where the hell are you going?
The Turbo 400 has 2.48 1st and 1.48 2nd, third is direct drive. The difference you will see in rpm is the Converter slippage.
We totally overthink this gearing thing. The rule of thumb should be to match the tire size to the gear ratio, so that you are running through the traps at the top of 4th. Bigger HP trucks can run a bigger tire, and thus use a taller gear. The reason short gears don't work on the track is that they require a shift to 5th gear prior to crossing the line.
Crap, that's my whole problem----I jus got 4 gears. :dontknow:
So 4.10's are a good idea on a high he truck?
None of this applies to the QC's, only the RC's. My personal opinion is that gears are a fantastic mod for QC.
Leave it to Charlie to completely blow my story apart. Thanks a lot.This is not true as my QC has 6 gears and a clutch. And soon a ton a power.
Cali mother fucker

Swapping gears on a street truck is pointless, just because of the fact that even stock trucks have no problem killing tires. If you want to go to the race track leave the gears alone and buy the appropriate sized tire
I disagree. I drove a truck that made 799rwhp with 4.56's and would hold 3rd gear. I had to peddle 2nd gear and knowing what I know. With better weight distribution and traction devices along with 4.10's I believe I will be able to use 2nd some.
