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.
