I was wondering if anyone uses automatic transmissions on road courses. I remeber there was a few autoxers that did several years ago. It's not that I don't want to go to a T5 or even T56, I'm just doing the bad thing I do & think too much about stuff!

We did some calculations years back for a "paralyzed" racer who couldn't feel his legs so shifting was a problem, plus the torque multiplication through the trans has many good options. Our calcs were for cooling a 302 (400HP) for 45minutes of track time. The cooler ended up being almost the size of the radiator.
If your just doing track days I would get the biggest feasible cooler for the 700R4 that you could. A shift kitted manual valve body 700R4 could be kind of fun once you learn how to drive it. Its almost like running a sequential gear box. |
