Default TH400 setup in base c6

Tossing around the idea of ditching my stick shift set up and going to a th400 setup in my base c6. What are the pros/cons everybody notices with the set up? I really only see RPM out here selling the full swap kit anybody else sell a kit?

I think RPM is only one that makes/sells a kit. And I believe you have to cut tunnel to go th400 but you don't to go glide.

I feel like a glide is too overkill with my setup

Depending on power level, both are probably overkill.

Glide goes in without cutting. TH350/400 needs to bust out the saw and hack up the tunnel. Doesn't give you overdrive or anything up top, just an extra gear below the 1:1 high gear. If you are low power and don't have enough that may help, then again why would a low power car want to do a swap like that. If you are only making 600-800 just do a 4l60/etc and enjoy it.

More consistent at the track and faster ETs, csr is eventually getting a blower on a 150 shot also
