My mph is better, most likely cause i have less gear and a tad more HP and torque. Im surprised that im not getting more MPH out of it... I was hoping for 117, atleast...Not expecting much more than that...for now....

Our spat with breakage was due to mis-matched motor mounts, not any weakness in transmissions. From my limited experience I would bet a minimum of a tenth reduction in et with no reliability issues. Nearly everyone in these parts run the 200 now and most are seriously quicker than our car. You need to talk to Thomas Arnett in KY if you decide to make the change...best fellow I have ever dealt with and a Stock racer himself. Here is a pic of his bad to the bone A/SA Camaro which uses the same 200 metric he builds for everyone else...
Btw, what do you think of this truck I'm eyeballing? It's a '85 Dodge with a late model Turbo Cummings and 5-speed.
