What's your purpose for the trans break, I am not a fan of the transbreak, puts stress on the transmission.

Hey cucho,

Long time no hear...

I say no trans break. With the right converter, the car will leave just as hard if not harder by just simply foot-breaking it. The trans break is simply just used for competetion use only. It helps out on your reaction time. If you do alot of heads up racing then you might want to consider it. If your just out to have fun at the track and on the street then forget the trans-break. Besides the fact that the trans-break is hard on the transmission it's even harder on the converter! You need a real good converter to hold up to the abuse, and they are not cheap by no means.

Hello 420nitro, is been a long yeah i now, and also i have my new car running 11.51 with this C4 and a 310 engine, im just use this car for competition non street for the street i got my other stang with a T5 and running 12.70. The thing is that i want more power to leave the line, i got 4.11 and im gone a change to 4.56, with the 4.11 i run 1.70 60 ft at 118 mph, with 26 * 10 slicks, i heard about a planetary sistem for the C4 that came with 6 pinions this increase the relation of the trany or just only take more durability, also i need the servo kit, tell me what i need to do in my C4 already have only shift kit, and also i have a 3500 stall, that works great.

Theres a whole bunch of stuff you can do or just have Dynamic build you one.

But here are some of the mods...

Vasco input shaft..

Welded front drum...(theres these three peanut shaped cavities in the drum. People just weld up these cavities and machine them flush and redrill the oil hole again.)

Or by an aluminum or titinum drum(s) 3 total drums

6 pinioin front plantery gear set.

H servo

Red Alto clutchs w/ Kolene Steels

Kevlar Band

manual reverse valve body

deep pan.

28,000+ gvw cooler

c-6 front pump bearing..
teflon seals.

the list can go on and on..Your best bet would be to call Dynamic and have them build you one or even PA. PA has a lifetime garranty.

Sorry for all the misspellings.

Good luck man

I second that...Dynamic is great! I havent used my brake yet just because I want to get used to launching the car first by foot brake. They're not cheap but the quality is second to none. Talk to Harold or JR.
