200-R4 transmission behind mopar stroker

There is a member, Mopar to ya (?) that just ordered one from Carr, have you spoke with him about it?? I did have one in a Buick I owned a long time ago. Got the car with the trans in the trunk, all apart. Once it was put back together it was a decent trans, for what it was. Which is my point in itself, there is better units out there, irregardless of what others are saying.......but hey, a guy (friend) that has has a trans shop for 25 years probably does not know as much about them as some members here......

So does your buddy feel that this trans is not worth building? If it will hold up to around 1000hp it seems like the "tits" b/c of the size and ease of installation. VS the other GM trasmissions. Looks as I would need a TV cable which acts like a kick down lever... Can I get a manual Vb for it where I don't have to worry about dialing that cable in or would that defeat the purpose of this type of trans? how would this beefed up trans act at the track vs our 727's? I also have 4.10 gears.
