I know that. That's what I try to do, also. > In general > the SWP doesn't seem to offer much to racing, > since many of its attributes are irrelevant there. Yes, I've tried SlimJims and variable pitch TH400s on the track. The SlimJims were simply pathetic. The variable pitch TH400s weren't bad, but sometimes, the shifts seemed slightly confused. Of course, these were stock transmissions. But no one in their right mind would attempt to beef up a SlimJim for performance or racing. > I'm > not even that much in favor of automatics. I am in total favor of automatics. One of my deficiencies is that I could never get my left foot and right arm and right foot completely corrodinated for a manual transmission at WOT. Missed shifts are not neat and can be noisey. So B&M full manual modified racing transmissions, my HydroStick, my 727 Torkflyte, and my TH400, are ideal for my corrodination limitations. :-))) > But after > all kinds of broken stick and auto transmissions, the > 400 for my budget is by far the strongest and most > reliable trans, beside being a simple bolt in. I couldn't agree with you more. The TH400 is the strongest passenger car and light truck automatic ever made. The 727 Torkflyte and the GM '55 slant pan HydraMatic are tied for second place. There is no third place. Nothing else counts. Milton Schick 1964 442 Cutlass [EMAIL PROTECTED]
