TH350, TH400 and 200 Questions Ok, thinking soon enough it will be time to swap out the trans...again. So, instead of fuking around with another 4L60/5E I might as well go with the beef.
From my understanding the efficiency ratings in order best to worst:
350
200
400
And power capability
400
200
350
Weight wise lightest to piggiest
350
200
400
I am going off memory and little bit of reading here so forgive me if I am not up to date. I was reading about the 200s built from one or two shops in the mainland handling over 1000hp and 900ftlbsin buicks but could work with a LS1 right? And the 350 to 400's? I am not pushing the envelope like Ronnie Duck or anything but looking for a solid low 9's on spray and trans brake friendly. Most likely Neil Chance TC, seems to be one of the best around. Anyway, let me hear it.

I believe the TH350's and 2004R's are very close in size. I am a big fan of the TH350's, but if you're car is going to see a lot of street miles, or is over 3200lbs I'd probably go TH400.

My goal for raceweight is 3300, with me and the bottles of Nitrous strapped in! I cant remember the shop that was doing the 200's, I thought they refered to them as 200c4s or something, saynig there was a difference in the 200 model line like the T56 with the WC and Non WC. Anyway. Just trying to get general knowledge from experienced users hopefully still a long way off from having to replace another trans.

TSP was running a 200-4r from Century in their 10.20 car.
I am running a 200-4r from Del-trans in my car running 10.7's and sprayinfg through the shifts with the old NXL 120 shot.
If it is a street driven car the 200-4r has OD which is nice. There are mixed results on how long they will last. I havent had any problems so take it for what you will.

93LS1RX7- Yeah Century, Dynotech, FLP are three of the major 200r4 Builders under the Hi-Po Listings. Century and Dynotech have 9sec proven trans, and depending on reliability is what I may go for. Yeah I like to drive my car as much as possible, daily and to work or the store, but I want to race it too.
