I agree it can be done, but for how long? In my case I have never had any luck with a 200 in any of my cars. I have had my 400 for 4 years with no issues what so ever.

I say open it up to any gm transmission. Such as th400 or 4l60
Why not?
Take a 400, What advantage does it give one besides being cheaper to build? They take more power to turn and are heavier. It would let more people in (perhaps me). They don't take away from the street car theme of the class either. One could swap out a 200 and go 400 cheaper than adding a fiberglass hood. Fiberglass parts are way more race car than a th400.

I disagree that fiberglass hoods are more race car than a 400...assuming we are talking about stock appearing hoods.

So you don't think a stock appearing fiberglass hood is race car. What about slicks, boost controller with co2, aftermarket Efi, trans brakes in a 200r4, aftermarket suspension......

Thats the way I read it.
I did too so did Clay. You can also run a 109 in the 8's
but a lot like to do it with a stage 2Just saying it can open the door to bigger fields. I know BG isn't hurting, but the rest of the races are.

400 trans would really be helpful
I have a new spragLESS stage 3 ready to install from Lonnie
It's so durable I could race it half full...of Water!

Would launch car harder with less worry with my T400
That's why I didn't launch hard last year

Is there any opposition to a th400?
I don't think there is a performance advantage at all. I disagree with clay above about launching harder with a 400. Pretty sure John P over in tsm doesn't hold back on his 200 by the looks of his launches.
A th400 will not make you faster, weighs more, takes more power to turn, has the same converter selection. So nothing there.
Heard someone say that there has not been a 200 failure that caused a ths racer to sit out. There goes the theory of a 400 being an advantage in durability. So no gain there.
Only advantage is the cost. It is cheaper to build a 400. That in itself should be good for the class.
The gain to the class would be to let people in that may be legal everywhere else but the trans. I have a 400 now and gaurantee I will show up to at least one ths race this year if a 400 is allowed. I've already made my mind up that I'm not going back to a 200. I would like to know soon which way this is going to go. I got some decisions to make on front suspension and if I'm putting ac back on the car.

I'll be THS ready for 2014 and can't wait. I will be running a 2004R.
I agree with KevinB. No performance advantage with a TH400, let em in.

Yes coil on plug is allowed. Can a dizzy be run with the stock acc bracket? I so, can someone send me pics of their setup?
