That's what I'm getting at Greg.

Compare the Metric 200 to a 350 with aluminum forward and direct drums, lightened front and rear planetaries, a 250C sun gear shell, a gun drilled output shaft, and all roller thrust bearings.

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.
