Who built your 200R4.

As mentioned, Century Automotive built our 200-4R. Mike at Century is the only transmission builder that touches our autos. We have really abused our 200, and it doesn't blink an eye. I ran it for a year in my '02 SS before putting it in our '98 Z28, and I ran a best of 10.13 @ 131 MPH on a 1.39 60' with it. I sent it back a year ago for freshening, and Mike said everything looked perfect. The 3-4 clutch pack was showing a little wear but nothing bad by any means, but I had him replace it anyways while it was there. We put the trans in our Z28 last May, and we've run a best of 10.20 with it with numerous 60' times in the high 1.3x range.
The 200-4R conversion is not cheap, but Century's transmissions are well worth it. Spend the money the first time to do it right, and you won't regret it.
Feel free to give me a call or shoot me an e-mail at trevor@texas-speed.com, and I can put together a complete conversion package for you.

You don't have to run Century's torque converter. I had TCI custom-build a converter for my 200-4R with no problem whatsoever. I can get you a custom-built TCI for the 200-4R with the LS1 pilot length and bolt pattern starting at $515. The price will vary some depending on stall speed, but it will certainly be cheaper than other custom-built converters.
