Hi,
Looking at the 200R4 trannys. A question that I'm asked is, How much horsepower and torque the motor has. I have stock heads with a summit 2801 cam. I know I should not have that much, and I don't know if you guys will be able to tell me. It's a frame off resto. So putting it on a dyno is not a option. I looked at the Bowtie site and It has 3 different levels. I would think I would got with the level 2 or 3. With a level 3, if I then upgrade the engine I will still have the tranny with the level 3. Do I need that though? What do you guys think? Is Bowtie ant good of a shop. Thanks, Anthony

I feel better too strong than not strong enough.

Hi 66GTO, I agree to some extent with Bob W48 about getting a strong unit. The only drawback may be extra firm shifts that could get annoying after a while, depending on what you like. Since the Level 3 would be set up for higher HP and torque than your engine (although you didn't say what engine you currently have), the line presssure and shift pressure will be set more aggressively throughout the throttle range. Again, this "neck snapping" shift may or may not be an issue with you, but it is something to consider.
I'm looking into 200-4R's for my 70 convertible, so let me know what you decide and who to go with. I had started a couple of 200-4R threads earlier that has some feedback from others forum users on 200-4R suppliers that you may find interesting. Good luck! http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...401#4431023401 http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...401#8831023401

Bob,
I definately don't want neck snapping shifts. I have a 78 TA with a TH400 w/ a shift kit. I'd be happy with those type of shifts. They weren't neck snapping but stiff and firm. That was a great car. I will keep you up to date. I posted a quote from Bowtie in an other section. I'll post it here also and you might want to get a look at it.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
