TH350/TH400 vs 200-4R
Currently I have a 200-4R with a TCS 4200RPM nitrous stall. Im thinking about converting to a different tranny. What should I pick. I hardly drive the car on the street. Its solid roller 422 with a decent size shot of nitrous. I almost want a transbrake, but not sure. I know I can get some good money for the 200-4R because I really do not need the overdrive. What are the advantages/disadvantages of switching trannies.. Let me know..

The transbrake is the biggest plus for those transmissions. If you never street drive it, and your dead serious about drag racing, why not go with a powerglide?
If there was no chance of me EVER driving my car on the street I would have gone with the TCI Powerglide instead of the TH400. The biggest problem I have with my TH400 is the loose converter. It sucks in traffic, but all is forgotten when the transbrake is released.

If your concerned about or wanting a transbrake, why dont you just install one on the 200-4R? If youre worried about it being strong enough, you have nothing to worry about because I know that the tranny in your car was built by Century and they rate their strip version for 800+rwhp/rwtq. Turbo Buicks are well into the 9s with those trannys. If I were you, I would stick with the 200-4R you got because of the overdrive. If youre really serious about swapping, I would be interested in buying the tranny and driveshaft off of you if the price is right. Thanks
