Turbo 200 with 2.75 low, swap converter for one for a 200. Put the 400 in a pick up truck where it belongs. The fast big blocks are successfully run in 200s.

WELL- I’ve never been accused of being snobby before, that I know of. And I have absolutely no idea who Dano is if he isn’t cuffing anybody. I am just trying to to help somebody I don’t know make the correct transmission choice. I think I might be qualified to make that suggestion. You I don’t know about. So you can kiss my snobby but.

Or sell TH400 to bracket racer, I ran my TH400 for many seasons no issues @ 700hp and 2900lbs.

Guys need to keep in mind that not every single stock class racer may be willing to spend $6,000+ on name built TH-200 or Pro Trans that is built to withstand a big block. I've priced both for my own car. I run a lightweight TH-350 in my car and find it hard to justify the added cost vs. the little gain in E.T. Personally, I see lots of other areas where that kind of money could be better spent. One could install top-of-the-line ignition and fuel systems, plus a data logger for that kind of money and probably have a few bucks left over. Just my .02.
