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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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