Well im goin to buy a c4 and art carr has the better price then
Dynamic or , PA
I mean they are around 2000 less then P/a and DYnamic

I wanted to now if anyone is runing a ARTCARR TRANNY ON HERE
and what times you guys getting out of it.


I dont mind paying the extra chash but just want to make sure I buy the better tranny,

ARTCARR said that their tranny are rated 800-1100 hp
of course that can just be a sales pitch

what do you guys recommed

Thanks

I dont' see how art carr could possibly be that much less if similarly built. You should be able to get EVERYTHING from dynaMIC for ~$3500.

My vote, which is completely meaningless since i've owned neither, goes to dynaMIC!

thats what I was thinking why should it cost way more for dynamic

The only diffrence is that I can see is that art carr throws its own converter in

where I think dynamic sells you someone else's torq converter

I might have to go with dynamic just couse they are proven more at the track then artcarr

You will be happy with the P/A unit. I was looking at Art Carr, P/A and Lentec when I bought mine(AOD). After all my research I just went with the cheapest. The sales support at Art Carr has been great though I must say.

Is this for a race car with any kind of power? Like near or more than 1000? If it is the c-4 is about the worst tranny you can buy for a race car!! There is a thread about this same topic on the NMRAracing.com board. Some of these guys are big time Ford racers talking about it and know what they are talking about I would get a t-400 or a t-350 to handle that kind of power.

If not disregard my post. Here is the thread.

interesting post some people who dont use the tranny have comments and the people who are useing it dont have problems with them

I think all tranny's have their up's and down some people have good luck with some otheeres dont
that why LIFETIME WARRANTI WILL BE GOOd

I will make like 600rwhp if im lucky
and the freshen up's are free from P/A

I would go power glide but if I want to drive the car on the street it would suck ass
 
Posted by Jeff S (Member # 371) on :
 
If your going to ~600rwhp there is absolutely no problem with a C-4...it will last forever. Once you go low 9's or faster than you will have problems with reliabilty where a T400 or Powerglide would be a better choice.

You'll be fine.
 
Posted by yellow67stang (Member # 903) on :
 
Yeah, I am sure you will not have a problem with the tranny with the power you making. But if it does break often Im sure you will not be happy with the shipping cost to and from the place that offers a lifetime warranty. The people on that post like Jay Allen speaks from experience with the c-4

Good luck
