In future plans I would like to get a 351w putting out over 400hp to put in my stang. Would it be a good idea to keep the C-4 or would I need a C-6. Also, do they sell any kits to beef up a C-4/C-6 so it can handle more power?------------------

KVs car with a Cleveland at 2800 lbs. runs as quick as 6.18 eighth mile. That has to work out to way over 400 HP. His C4 was originally a Trans King. It has held up well and with rebuilds after 300 - 350 passes, has been flawless.I wouldn't probably get the Trans King again, the service we got from them on another piece was pretty bad. Thier brake is really quick though and the quality of the mods work great. As Alex said, JPT has an excellent reputation. The C4 is preferable due to the reduced weight and less HP to operate compared to the C6. The only racer I've seen that had trouble with a properly prepped C4 was running a monster big block in front of one. I think they were blowing servos, but I could be wrong. That was several years ago and my memory.....  Their motor was undoubtedly making 800HP plus. Keep the C4, you'll be glad you did. ------------------

One other thing....sorry for rambling.KVs C4 works well enough that more than one GM guy has asked if one could be adapted to a Chebbie motor. Imagine that!  Maybe some tranny guy should think about that. The bellhousing already unbolts. With a Glide you have to machine them. A bellhousing could be fabbed or cast to fit any motor. Hmmmmmmm! ------------------

Here is a link to an interesting discussion on C4 build-ups. They get pretty technical, but there is a lot of decent information in the thread.http://www.fordmuscle.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=1626&forum=13&start=75

JPT has adapter bell housings to mate a C-4 to almost any engine. ------------------
