Back to back comparison of Th350 and Metric 200???

[Ed Wright]

I would expect the only legit comparrison would be with the same gear ratios. You can get about any ratio you want for a T350 now.

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,

Not quite a tenth in the crate motor car Steve. That is using the same converter. Most can't switch the converters. It's about another grand to get the metric to take a turbo converter.
On a side note reverse is really week.
