Yes, durability was the driving factor for my switch to the TH350 vs the metric 200. Not realizing any performance loss so far with the change...but my junk has always been slow. :( :p

Don’t dismiss the 200 if it’s built right. My p/sa car had it from corbitt, when it was above 4000 lbs. They are also used in a lot of heavy cars in stock like some copos. Turbo action did my 200, jack sepanek fixed my pump after 8 years problem free. My little 265 qualifies very well with a 200.

If you are having trouble with a 200 Metric it is not the transmission. It is how it is driven in the pits and water box, chassis flex or transmission assembler. I get 200-300 runs out mine all the time and take them out because I am embarrassed that I haven't had them serviced! Paul Forte builds a great transmission.

The transmission cares more about how much torque is being inputted , not so much how heavy the car is . Now, there are many 455 Pontiacs and BBC running 200THM , so there are many parts available to beef up the weak points . One interesting modification I like is a 350/400 input shaft spline , and modified pump , which allows you to run a 350/400 converter . What is neat is a 200thm was meant to replace a 350 , so the length and output spline is the same . With a modified spline and pump , you can then also use the same converter . I bet there are a few Racers out there that know just how much faster a 200thm is compared to a 350 .

Question?
What RPMs are you all launching, stalled, shifting and going through the Traps for your combination?

Dan I have a Turbo Action 200 with 50 or so passes on it with Eshift and the bell housing. If you want to do this right the first time pm me I will cut you a deal.

Re: Transmission Converter Options
 

3500 launch.
6500 through traps.
Shift at 6800 for 1.20 under index plenty left....
