I've seen a lot of claims about ET reduction of various transmissions. I can tell you that I built a killer 350 for a well known and successful Stock Eliminator racer a few years back. A couple of years or so later, he was told that a certain high dollar transmission would be 0.07 to 0.12 faster. He spent a lot of money, and he may have knocked 0.03 or so off of his ET. It was a big block car with fairly high HP, about 3700 pounds or so.

And don't forget the extra $500 for the 2.75 low gear set for a TH-350, which comes as a 2.74 low gear as standard on a TH-200......
Aluminum direct & forward drums, a 2.75 low gear and the lightening of the gear sets make this a more expensive trans than the TH-200.
Just my thoughts,
