site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely
slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members.

Reread your post and realized I didn't answer one of your questions.

I always heard that the 2004R was the weaker of the two trannys yet they put it behind the Buick Grand National.
While the TH700 is stronger and has a better low gear ratio, the 1-2 shift brings with it a fairly large RPM drop going into 2nd (3.06 to 1.8 something if memory serves). With a TH700, the GN's V6 turbo boost would probably fall flat going into 2nd with this tranny. With the TH200's shorter jump there's much less of an RPM drop going into 2nd, maintaining boost pressure when it's needed most. _________________ 70 Elky (Non-SS) 454CID, TH700-R4
