I have bought from them before. Decent company, a little pricey but they UPS small cut sizes. Real handy.
I'm not sure what the gap is supposed to be, but I do know the one to ask.

Good score on the drum!
Funny you should say that my truck has dual batteries and I didn't think of it at the time but I could have popped one in the car from the dually and made a couple more passes :rolleyes:
With 33" tires I'm not turning that hard at the trap. Shift a 7K. To be honest, Only got to make the two passes you see last night. Neither time did the shift light come on on the big end, so I was under the 7K.
The car wouldn't charge and I don't have a generator (yet!). The problem was a...
Finally got back to the track!
Better axles and 5.13 gears.
Only got two passes in but it was enough tell I'm moving in the right direction.
Time slips are with their respective videos.

The intermediate drum in your trans (if you got it already) may have a "good drum in it. Then you just need to purchase the sprag. Don't put it in upside down! If it doesn't have a good drum, they readily available. Quick search on eBay for example...

And of course I'll have to get one of them pies you keep posting pictures of!
Either kit should work for you well.
A TH400 has a notoriously weak sprag. I would advise that you upgrade to a 34 element piece and make sure your intermediate drum has the smooth race. One on right is what you want, not the left. Get a good trans cooler and you should have a solid setup.
