456 is a ton of gear!I think way to much for the street especially where you live,by the time you go through a intersection your in 3rd gear already.AS for the 400 turbo it won,t stay in low gear unless you put a trans pack in it,it will shift out by itself.They are strong!the 350 turbo just shift kit it and your done Joe switched his from a 400 to a 350 he said the 350 had a crisper 3rd gear. thats who you need to talk to about that stuff Joey!
