Where did you get the rebuild kit from? What type of friction plates did you use and how many?
How about valve bodys? Do you have a brake? Did you do that yourself to?
Sorry for so many questions.

I got my Powerglide book today. I only glanced through it so far. It does look very detailed, cool. There also seems to be a lot of things that should/could be done.
What is the Horsepower/torque limits of the stock planetary gears? Question

if he had to go to a turdbo 400 he did something really wrong to the c-6, they are WAY stronger than the T-400

I agree w/randy. 4200 lbs here and running 9.90's with a C6 no issues.

Now Tore's gonna see if he can break that trans in his car. I doubt he'll be able to!
