Thanks everyone. It was awesome to have that done. Never would have thought how fast the car is now. Looking for high 70s next time car is out.

I know a lot of racers use a 1.80 1st gear in the TH400.
I also know a lot of guys that use 2nd gear in a PG.
The 2nd gear leave is a poor mans power glide. lol 2nd gear leave reduced the starting line ratio enough to leave on the chitty mickey and leave consistently. We tried the 2.10 gear set and didn't have much success. That doesn't mean nobody can, it just didn't work for him. With the money wrapped up in the T-400 you could never recoup the money invested if he tried to sell it. Jim Hossler is the man with the T-400. We are very fortunate to have him here in Delaware. He is very easy to work with and his turn-around time is good.

To have a PG made to withstand that HP he is making would cost $3700-$4500and that's on the low-end.
