I know that. That's what I try to do, also.

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 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.

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.
