Fastest TH-200
 

My camaro has a Turbo Action TH200, with eshift. It's older and doesn't have the latest tricks. Trying to plan for winter and decide what to do with it. I know that sending it back to Turbo Action would yield some gains, but what about McClay or others?

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

I can't say which is the fastest but I think McClay may be the most expensive. He won't sell parts, only complete trans. Leo Glasbrenner sells parts than you can have your trans built by your own guy. I got the parts from Leo and had Ken Shawver @ Defiance Trans. build the unit. He sells an alum. drum, auto 1-2 shift and other goodies. Bob Michael.

X2 on Leo. Great guy to deal with and has a great product. He builds various gear ratios for different combos.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Aluminum drum is one of the best investments you can make (about $700) . Thomas Arnett is who I would recommend to build the trans. Leo sells most of the parts that you need and very helpful. Ron.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

They all build great products... find one you can work with and who is available for questions and close by.

I use Jack Sepanek (Sepanek Trans), depenable and is at all D-1 races. Gets dirty at the track.

Good luck

He's done a couple of t400's for me. I keep going back.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Thanks Floyd. I'll give him a call

Do you have Sepanek's p#? I have heard allot of good things. Does he but parts from Leo?

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Robert, I bought a powerglide that was built by Sepanek. I did purchase it used but was supposed to be fresh from Sepanek and from a racer in his home town area. I dont know if someone else had been in that trans after it left Sepaneks shop. It had mismatched parts and someone had shimmed up the clearances to make it work. After a number of runs it finally tore up and ruined my convertor too boot. Needless to say I was real surprised when I took it apart and figured out why it broke. I had heard good things about Sepanek as well.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

One thing I have learned is buying a fresh any thing is risky. Unless you are actually picking it up at the place that supposedly freshened it.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Great point Novadude, Sepanek is reputable and his shop number is 570-457-6517

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Does Leo make a transbrake valve body?

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

I don`t know witch 200 trans is fastest? my Scott McClay has over 200 runs on it, never had a problem with it, I use synthetic trans fluid and I have never changed the fluid, I`m lazy, plus if have decals he pays. Tom

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Thomas Arnett (has some parts from Leo) for us and a bunch of others around here.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Those mentioned are all good at what they do, and all good people too....but I'm surprised nobody mentioned Billy Lynn yet...He's been building 200's since the early 90's anyway.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

I think he mentioned he was working on one the last time I talked to him, I'd give him a call.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Thanks Rick. Does anyone know if Leo has a website?

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

I use and recommend Leon Miranian's Turbo Flite Racing Transmission. Great fast product and great guy to work with.

Leon here also.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Chad,

I think we run similar combo's so here is my $.02.

1) Call WPE, Wudarczyk Performance Engineering 785-842-0865, ask for Tim. I purchased a transmission from them and after my Divisional win at BIR, they were the first contingency check I received! They build ultra lightweight, about 18 poulnds less then my current 200. Secondly, Tim's son Tyler races Stock, Super Stock, and bracket races and is in the winner circle more than most of us race during a season running WPE tranmissions.

2) I decided to not run e -shift because it wasn't clear to me it would legal in the TPI cars, I believe the LT1 era cars was the first electronically controlled tranmsission but could be wrong. Either way, I didn't want to take the risk going to another division and finding out the hard way.

Good luck!

Tim

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Tim, I will do that. As for the e-shift, I've been through tech in div2,3,4 and never had an issue. There are a lot of TPI cars running the e-shift.

Re: Fastest TH-200
 

Tim , That can't be cheap, no matter how you go about it LOL
