I have been thinking about going to a 700R4 in place of my NV4500, but the heat generated from slow crawling seems undesirable. I prefer technical slow speed crawling rather then point and shoot wheeling, but why not have both!
Why couldn't you use the lockup circuit to lock up on demand with a steering wheel mounted switch and then allow the normal servo's or ECM lock up for high speed driving?
My thinking is to use a 5.0+ t-case with 4.88 gears, probably the Stak Box, combinded with the 3.06 low of the 700R4 that would give me a final ratio of 81:1 with the converter locked. That way I would have the control of a granny gear without the excess heat generated from converter slippage, if I needed to bump up something I could release the converter and hammer down.
Anybody see any problems with this?
Oh, am running a 454 small block chebby with 511hp and 571 ft/lbs....
