He tells me there's more than just a bit of difference in the two 200's, but I am not here to argue with you. If you think they are better that's cool. In our area, I can't find one person who agrees.

Personally I wouldn't have either one. Both of my trucks will be getting a 4L80E....undoubtedly stronger than either transmission in this thread and a much better platform to build from.
I'm not not to argue either, I have just had great experience with them in quick strip/street cars and I've seen a lots of 10, 11, 12 second cars running 200's. They have really become popular here over the last several years. I have another one built and ready to go for my red '69, but its only going to be daily driver. I'm only going to be running a Vortec headed .030 350 with the Ram Jet 350 roller cam, so its going to be a mild set-up.

There's no doubt that the 4L80E is better than both. The cost is only negative with them.
