Richie, add 1/2 qt. of fluid!

The lag is somewhat inherent in some valve bodies but many times its due to improper fluid level .
Here's the link to the Turbo Action tech tip on proper dip stick measurement.

I’ve been working on the car all day
Ran it for a few minutes and checked the level and it was low
It has a custom locking dipstick and someone marked it on one side for correct level
Without pulling the pan I can’t confirm that dipstick is correct
I’ll recheck it hot at the track next week.

Car needs some TLC and we’re getting reacquainted.

Rich,
I don't know about a 200 but in a PG if you just plug the cooler lines off with out modifying the pump it causes a restriction in fluid flow out of the converter. Converter will function different with the restricted flow. Just Put a loop on it and see if it helps the issue.

Good morning Rich and to all,
Rich I think you might want to contact the transmission's builder. None of us know who's front pump is in there, and what's been done internally. My McClay 200 is plugged. I believe Leon plugs his cooler inlet and outlet as well. If I remember correctly the Remac front pumps are made to have the cooler lines plugged. But there are other builders out there and some have a different way of getting the same things done. This is where you might want to get in touch with the original builder. If you haven't reached out to Mark Yac. now might be a good time. I'm not personally well versed on all the internal workings of those units to let you know exactly "what " to be looking for.
Have a good day.

Respectfully,

P.S. Rich have you put a pressure gauge on the trans and run it in gear, even on jack stands ?
