I swapped in a T-350 when the 200 started going bad and it really slowed that car down. I raced it in street et before and after the trans change. A total dog with the T-350......engine had wrong stuff on it for the rear gear and the trans swap aggravated it.....

I would think that the lower gear ratios of the TH-200 really helped the lower HP 305. The TH-200 has a 2.75 1st, while the TH-350 is 2.52. Plus the added rotating weight that the TH-350 has as well. That's probably why the car was a dog after the swap.
