I just finished building a 461 stroker for my LeMans, plan to spray it with a 175 shot, and bought a bto 200, converter, and all the goodies, after a bunch of research. I know a number of GN guys, and most are in the 10s or better, using 200s. Some have had problems, mostly due to poor rebuilds, and the ones who have 'properly built' 200s by reputable people are not having problems. All stress that TV adjustment, pressure, deep pans, and proper cooling are critical to these trans' living. That's not counting proper fluid flushing & fill. And just to say, The TCI 400 I have in there now, for the last 60k+ miles, is working fine, and I plan on putting it in my daughter's Cutlass. I flushed the heck out of it when first installed, and changed the fluid every 20k or so...

I'll have the engine & trans in by Jan 15, and will let all know my results. I'll take pics and all of the install, and share my experience....
