Thanks, Joe 67 Plum Jan 8th, 09, 01:53 PM TH400 will handle more horsepower than a TH350.TH400 is heavier than TH350.TH350 is a bolt in replacement for a powerglide so it is a popular upgrade for Camaros that orig. had a glide.TH350 has lower gear ratios than TH400. 1st. 2nd 3rd rev. TH350 2.52 1.52 1.00 1.93 TH400 2.48 1.48 1.00 2.00 I feel like a TH350 is fine behind most smallblocks and a TH400 should be used behind bigblocks. DOUG G Jan 8th, 09, 02:02 PM 400~uses more power to turn 350~not as strong (but can be upgraded for heavy use) 400~people want more $$$$ for them 350~easier to find (cheaper) Joes67ss Jan 8th, 09, 10:53 PM Thank you for the replys!!! one more question, being that the 400 has 4 gears does that make it better on the highway?? If so, is it a big difference in RPMs?? 69_OMEN_CAMARO Jan 9th, 09, 12:40 AM they are both 3 speeds, no overdrive Everett#2390 Jan 9th, 09, 02:50 AM being that the 400 has 4 gears does that make it better on the highway?? If so, is it a big difference in RPMs??You might be thinking of the 4L80 = THM400 w/overdrive, ECM controlled. Expect about a 28% reduction in OD.
